The Darien Nature Center is hosting “Small Tidings,” an art exhibit with more than 130 works from 11 local artists, each with their own unique style ranging from natural landscapes to abstract imagery. With holiday giving in mind, all works are priced at $250 and under. “The artists have created a beautiful variety of offerings for this show — there is truly something for everyone,” said Nature Center Executive Director Leila Wetmore. “New collectors will find pieces to start a collection and others will want to build their existing ones. Come with your holiday gift list and get ready to find something unique for the special people in your life.
