The Seven Lively Artists are a group who travel, paint, and exhibit together.
They tend to paint "en plein air", capturing the scene as they experience it in the field.
They paint many of the local landscapes, and have also made numerous trips to Maine,
Cape Cod, and Tilgham Island.

They will have a summer show at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in 2010 that will
run concurrently with another exhibition of their work at the Pennsylvania Governor's
Residence.

An exhibition catalogue from their recent 50 year retrospective gives a detailed
history of the group and is available at the Cumberland County Historical Society in Carlisle PA.
