Follow on Google News | “the Little Treasures Holiday Show” Featuring Ct Local ArtistsThis December, the Geary Gallery of Darien is proud to present “The Little Treasures Holiday Show,” a collection of unique and affordable pieces, all 9” x 12” or smaller.
By: Geary Gallery For truly heart-felt unique gift giving ideas, Geary Gallery is pleased to present its holiday show that features the artwork of more than 25 local artists, all well known masters of their particular medium. The show runs through December 24. Perfect for the holidays, the “Little Treasures” show was inspired by gallery visitors’ love of art, and the appeal of one-of-a-kind, memorable keepsakes, combined with the appeal of pieces that are easier on the pocket than some of the more substantial statement pieces that are generally on display at the gallery for acquisition. Featured paintings are in a variety of media including oil, acrylic, pastel, gouache and mixed media. For a full list of artists, visit www.gearygallery.com.
