Indigenous Voices
In commemoration of Native American Heritage Month, Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor is presenting "Views From Shinnecock," an exhibition of photographs by the artist and filmmaker Jeremy Dennis, and a screening of "Amplifying Indigenous Voices," seven short films created in response to the question, What does reciprocity mean to your community?
The films will be shown on Sunday at 5 p.m., after which a reception will be held in the theater's lobby, where Mr. Dennis's photographs will be on view through Dec. 31. "Views From Shinnecock" explores indigenous identity, cultural assimilation, and ancestral practices of the Shinnecock Indian Nation.
The film program includes "Ma's House," Mr. Dennis's documentary about Ma's House & BIPOC Art Studio, a communal space on the Shinnecock Reservation that features a residency program, an art studio, a library, and programs for tribe members.
Tickets for the film program are $15 and will support Ma's House. The exhibition is free and will be open daily from 11 a.m. until showtime.
"STAND" and Speak
"Christopher Knowles/STAND", an exhibition of work by the American multidisciplinary artist, is at the Watermill Center through Dec. 1. The show, which covers the artist's career from the 1970s through the present, includes drawings, typings, paintings, sculpture, and sound work.
Mr. Knowles will be at the center Thursday evening at 6 as part of its Viewpoints conversation series. The event will feature a performance by the artist, followed by a discussion about his practice with Lauren DiGiulio, an art historian and curator whose research focuses on contemporary visual art and performance.
Mr. Knowles's work has been exhibited in the 2006 Whitney Biennial and at the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate Modern in London, and the Palais Galliera in Paris, among many others.
Tickets, which can be secured online, are $25.
Vertical Geometry
"Archipelago Anthology," a show of cityscapes and selected other work by the East Hampton artist Carl Scorza, is at the Lucore Art Gallery in Montauk through Nov. 30. A reception will happen Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m.
Mr. Scorza obtained studio space on the 92nd floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower in the early 1990s. While that afforded him a long view of the city in all directions, he subsequently worked from a studio on Governor's Island, from which he looked up and out at looming skyscrapers.
The artist's interest in vertical geometry has also found expression in paintings of bottles arranged on table tops and in bars.
Contemporary Craft
"Selected by Make," the latest offering from Make Hauser & Wirth, a space in Southampton dedicated to contemporary crafted objects, features a blend of functional and decorative works by Derek Wilson, Jochen Holz, Sue Paraskeva, and Liam Lee.
On view through Dec. 23, the exhibition includes Mr. Wilson's functional designs for domestic tableware, Mr. Holz's molten glassware and vessels, Ms. Paraskeva's hand-thrown porcelain tableware, and textiles by Mr. Lee.
Trees, Trees, Trees
In conjunction with the Southampton Arts Center's current exhibition, "A Celebration of Trees," the exhibition artist Amy Wickersham will lead a workshop on the abstraction of trees on Saturday afternoon at 3. Participants will make collages that explore the patterns, movements, colors, and meaning of trees. The cost is $35, $30 for members.
"Trees of Africa," a program of two readings from the work of the nature writer Peter Matthiessen, plus a selection of short films about Africa's majestic trees, is set for Saturday at 6 p.m.
A guided tree walk at Bridge Gardens in Bridgehampton will happen Saturday at 2 p.m. The latter two programs are free, but registration, by calling Julia King at 631-283-3195 ext. 122, is required for the tree walk.
Political Cartoons
"Drawing the Line," an exhibition of more than 80 ink drawings by Van Howell, is at the Lyceum Gallery on the Suffolk County Community College's Riverhead campus through Nov. 18. Mr. Howell, an illustrator and graphic designer who lived on the East End for many years, will be on hand to speak about his work at a reception on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m.
His political cartoons have been published in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Guardian. Before he moved to London in 2001, several dozen cartoons and film festival caricatures appeared in The Star.
The Riverhead exhibition is Mr. Howell's first solo show since 1966.
Heilmann Honored
Mary Heilmann, who divides her time between Bridgehampton and New York City, and Brice Marden will be honored at Dia's annual fall benefit in New York City on Monday evening at 6. The event will begin with cocktails, followed by a seated dinner.
Tickets start at $2,000. More information is available from Ella Strauss at 212-293-5513.
Longo in L.A.
"Sea of Change," an exhibition of work by Robert Longo, will open Friday at Pace Gallery in Los Angeles with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. and continue through Dec. 17.
The show will include works on paper mounted on aluminum from 2022, a new video, and a selection of sculpture, marking the first time Mr. Longo's sculpture has been presented in Los Angeles in more than 20 years.
