Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in Bridgehampton will be the site of “Spring Training 2015,” a pop-up art exhibition, from tomorrow through March 29. A reception will be held March 14 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The works in the exhibition, which will benefit this year’s Artists and Writers Softball Game charities, will include both representational and abstract art influenced by softball. Half of all proceeds will help support East End Hospice, the Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center, Phoenix House Academy, and the Retreat.

In addition to the gallery show, the artwork will be available for viewing and purchase at paddle8.com during the run of the exhibition. Online bidding will start on March 14. The gallery will be open Fridays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
