Press release from Darien Nature Center: Nov. 24, 2020 The Darien Nature Center is hosting "Virtually Yours," an online art exhibit, now through December 18th. It showcases a selection of landscape or nature-inspired works from eight area artists including Betty Ball, Carol Bouyoucos, Donna Collins, Jane Cooper, Jen Greely, Cindy MacCollum, Stacey Schneider, and Deborah Weiss. "We are so grateful to these artists, who will be donating 30% of their sales back to the Nature Center. Our December art show is always popular because people find that special gift, or something to freshen up their own walls," said Executive Director, Leila Wetmore. "Showing artists' works online means that we can feature more artists and more works than our gallery can display. We can't wait to be able to host shows and gather people at the Nature Center building again, but in the meantime, we are really excited about this solution!" All the artwork for sale can be seen on the Nature Center's website, with the opportunity to schedule an in-person (but still socially-distant) visit to the building to see a particular piece or selection of works. The Darien Nature Center provides nature programs for all ages that inspire passion and respect for the natural world through nature education, hands-on experiences with nature, and environmental action and stewardship. Head to dariennaturecenter.org/virtually-yours-art-show to view the exhibit. To purchase artwork or arrange a viewing visit, please call the Nature Center at 203-655-7459.
