December inevitably means group exhibitions of small and not-so-small artworks that can be gift-wrapped and spirited home for the holidays. Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor is holding its 22nd annual “Gems” show of paintings selected from its artists’ studios.

Works by Sarah Lamb, Marc Dalessio, Carl Bretzke, Amy Florence, Nelson H. White, Ramiro, John Morfis, Melissa Franklin, Tina Orsolic Dalessio, Mary­ann Lucas, Victor Butko, and others are on view through Jan. 26. Gift-wrapping will be free through December.
