Paintings at Duck Creek
“Promised Land,” an exhibition of five mixed-media paintings by Peter Gregory, will inaugurate the small barn at the Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs on Saturday and remain on view through Sept. 15. The abstract compositions, made with bleach, dye, house paint, oil stick, and spray paint on fabric, are part of a series the artist calls “Flags,” with each featuring a quadrant that suggests that format.

The paintings were made after a visit by the artist to the arts center. “I incorporated the color, movement, and serenity of the environment there into the work,” he said.

Marron Drawings at Pace
“Works on Paper from a Distinguished Private Collection,” an exhibition of almost 40 works on paper from the holdings of the late Donald B. Marron, is on view at Pace Gallery in East Hampton through next Thursday.

Organized by Pace together with Acquavella Galleries and Gagosian, the show ranges from early modern masterpieces by Matisse, Dufy, and Leger to nature studies by Ellsworth Kelly and an acrylic from Paul Thek’s final series to contemporary works by Leonardo Drew, Damien Hirst, Jasper Johns, Ed Ruscha, and Brice Marden, among others.

Mr. Marron, a financier and philanthropist who had a house in Southampton, was a key figure in the early 1980s expansion of The Museum of Modern Art and was elected president of its board in 1985.

The Return of the Shed
East Hampton Shed + Tow, Abby Lloyd and Hadley Vogel’s mobile exhibition space, will roll onto Newtown Lane in East Hampton with “Red Shoes,” a new exhibition, Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. The show’s title was inspired by the famous quote from Little Edie Beale of Grey Gardens fame: “They can get you in East Hampton for wearing red shoes on a Thursday.”

The show strives to capture Little Edie’s eccentric spirit with work by Brigid Moore, Chris Retsina, Didi Rojas, Diego Groisman, Lucia Love, Miles Shelton, Morgan Blair, Paul Torres, Stephanie Boyce, and Vanessa Santiago-Gully.

The Shed will return on Aug. 15, 16, 22, and 23 from noon to 2 p.m. each day. Location updates can be found on Instagram @easthamptonshed.

Virtual Reality Tour
The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center in Springs is offering “Tracing Paint,” a virtual reality tour of the studio, as a supplement to the center’s guided tour. The 10-minute VR experience, which costs an additional $10, enables visitors to examine the artists’ paintings on the walls and floor where they were created, inspect their tools and materials, and hear them discuss their masterpieces.

The center is open Thursdays through Sundays by advance reservation only. One-hour guided tours are $15, $10 for children. “Tracing Paint” must be booked as a package with the guided tour.

Brodsky and Cheng at Studio 11
“Trial and Error” and “Listen,” concurrent solo shows of work by Eugene Brodsky and Philippe Cheng, will open on Saturday at Studio 11 at Red Horse Plaza in East Hampton with an indoor/outdoor reception from 4 to 7 p.m. It will remain on view through Sept. 13.

Mr. Brodsky will show a 15-foot-long mixed-media painting and a selection of smaller works, while Mr. Cheng will exhibit photographs mounted on aluminum, new work using steel structures and moss, and a series of four photographs mounted on sandpaper.

Linoleum Collages
Die Firma, an artist-driven Manhattan exhibition space, will present “In This House I Call Home,” an exhibition of more than 30 collages created by Bill Miller from linoleum, in a wooded waterfront location on Shelter Island from Wednesday through Aug. 23.

Mr. Miller cuts and arranges vintage linoleum to create images taken from his own life, pop culture, and art, transforming the now out-of-fashion material, complete with scuffs and scrapes, into complex pictorial representations of interiors, houses, people, even Van Gogh’s bedroom in Arles. Free timed tickets can be reserved at diefirmanyc.com.

Lisa Trivell at Kramoris
“Art in Motion,” an exhibition of paintings, prints, and videos by Lisa Trivell, is on view at the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor through Sept. 7. A massage therapist and the author of four books on yoga and rejuvenation, Ms. Trivell integrates art and healing.

Her RejuvenArt videos, which can be shown on screens of any size, combine imagery with sounds of nature or music to create meditative environments intended to invigorate the senses.
