Every year, Dunedin Fine Art Center is bedecked in its holiday finest, as themed Christmas trees are scattered up and down the halls and draped with one-of-a-kind ornaments and other decorative pieces that are all available for purchase. I've been enticed by plenty of these handmade holiday trimmings, but the temptation to spend has been most aroused by the original artworks set amongst the lavish finery. This year's holiday show, Present-Perfect, features a collection of reasonably priced pastels, colored pencil works, watercolors, jewelry, pottery, glass, sculpture, photography, prints and more by local artists like Daniel Mrgan, Katie Schuler, Susan Maxon, Cheyenne Rudolph and Polly Perkins. Through Dec. 22, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Mon.-Wed. and Fri., 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Tue., 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sat., 1 to 4 p.m. Sun., 1143 Michigan Blvd., Dunedin, 727-298-3322, dfac.org.
