Guild House Applications

Guild Hall has announced that it is accepting applications to the 2018 Guild House Artist-in-Residence program through Nov. 10. Open to early career artists in the visual, literary, and performing arts, it is not a studio-based program but rather an opportunity for reflection and the development of supportive and collaborative relationships.

For the first time, applicants can select from two four-week periods. The spring session will run from April 2 through April 30, the fall program from Oct. 22 through Nov. 19. More information and a link to the application can be found at guildhall.org.

 

Folioeast Barn Show

Folioeast is on the move again. Founded by Coco Myers, Folioeast is an online gallery that features work by select contemporary artists, most of whom live on the East End. It has also organized pop-up exhibitions at a variety of venues.

The next show, including work by Shari Abramson, Perry Burns, Chris Haile, and Kryn Olson, will open with a reception tomorrow from 5 to 8 p.m. at Ms. Olson’s studio barn at 18 Skimhampton Road in East Hampton. The exhibition can be seen through Nov. 5 by emailing [email protected] for an appointment.

 

Three at Ashawagh

Ashawagh Hall in Springs will host an exhibition of work by Veronica Mahoney, Bo Parsons, and Charles Newman Antiques on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. A reception will take place Saturday from 5 to 7.

Ms. Mahoney will show oil landscapes and large abstract watercolors, Mr. Parsons will exhibit ceramic and wood sculpture, and Mr. Newman will present 19th-century oils, watercolors, and prints, and select pieces of antique and midcentury furniture.

 

Milton Glaser Doc and Panel

“To Inform and Delight,” a documentary by Wendy Keys about the renowned graphic designer Milton Glaser, will be shown this evening at 7 at the John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor. 

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with the artist Reynold Ruffins, a close friend of Mr. Glaser’s and a founding partner with him, Seymour Chwast, and Edward Sorel of Push Pin Studios; Walter Bernard, a graphic designer and art director who formed WBMG with Mr. Glaser, and Paul and Myrna Davis, both of whom worked at Push Pin during the 1960s.

Registration for the free program is required.

 

John Stefanik at Jermain

Also at John Jermain, “Obsessed by Light,” an exhibition of black-and-white photographs by John Stefanik, is on view through Nov. 14. Mr. Stefanik, who lives in Sag Harbor, captures mood, motion, and light in a style reminiscent of the Hudson River School painters. His subjects include the East End’s bays, estuaries, and waterways, as well as its woods and abandoned farmhouses.
