New Exhibition at the Lyndon House

Unbroken Circle: The Musical Threads of Art Rosenbaum, composed of paintings and drawings by Art Rosenbaum, is on view April 3 – June 14 at the Lyndon House Arts Center. The artist reception is Thursday, April 3 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Art Rosenbaum’s paintings and drawings are more than visual expressions—they are vibrant echoes of a life devoted to storytelling, tradition, and human connection. Unbroken Circle: The Musical Threads of Art Rosenbaum takes its name from the iconic folk and gospel song "Will the Circle Be Unbroken", a piece rooted in Appalachian and Southern gospel traditions that speaks to themes of continuity, unity, and the enduring bonds of family and community. These same threads are woven throughout Rosenbaum’s life and work, reflecting his deep commitment to preserving cultural and musical heritage.

All exhibitions at Lyndon House Arts Center are free of charge and open to the public. Exhibitions are on view during regular gallery hours Tuesday and Thursday 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
