Blues and the Figure
The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill is offering two programs tomorrow at 6 p.m. The “Sounds of Summer” series will present Jake Lear, a singer and guitar virtuoso who recently moved back to the East End after building a reputation for hard-hitting blues on Beale Street in Memphis. The show will take place on the museum’s covered terrace.
“Gesture Jam,” a figure-drawing class featuring theatrical costumes and live accompaniment, will take place in the museum’s permanent collection galleries under the direction of Andrea Cote, an artist and educator. Participants should take their own sketchpads and dry media materials. Both programs are free with museum admission, which is $10, free for members and students.
And then on Monday at 5:45 p.m., “Deep Rivers,” a one-hour program of chamber music, will be co-presented by the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival at the museum. The program will include music by Fairouz, Bernstein, Copland, Gershwin, and American spirituals. Tickets are $35, $30 for members, and $10 for students.
