For Ukraine
In 2012 and 2013, the photographer Stephen Shore photographed in and around the homes and villages of Holocaust survivors in Ukraine. He was introduced to his subjects through the Survivor Mitzvah Project, which helps aging Holocaust survivors living in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Lisa Spellman’s Gallery 303 in Chelsea is now showing photographs from Mr. Shore’s “Survivors in Ukraine” series. Ms. Spellman, a Montauk resident, and the artist will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from sales to the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee and its Humanitarian Aid Fund for Victims of War in Ukraine. Donations can be made directly to uuarc.org.
On the Horizon
“Horizons,” a group show of painting and photography, will open at Colm Rowan Fine Art in East Hampton on Saturday, with a reception from 4 to 7 p.m. It will remain on view through April 10.
Organized in collaboration with Folioeast, the exhibition features photographs by Jaime Lopez and Christine Matthai and paintings by Roisin Bateman and Janet Jennings.
The artworks include both abstracted and more literal interpretations of the horizon line. All four artists, who live and work on the East End, acknowledge the area’s light and water as sources of inspiration.
Spring Training Is On
The Major League lockout continues as of press time, but the board of the East Hampton Artists & Writers Annual Softball Game has mounted “Spring Training 2022,” a fund-raising exhibition for the charities it supports, at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in Bridgehampton.
Artists were invited by the board to submit work “about the game, softball, the Hamptons, or any subject selected by the artist.” Participants need not have played in the annual softball game.
The show includes work by more than 30 artists, among them Stephanie Brody-Lederman, RJT Haynes, Lynn Matsuoka, Christina Schlesinger, Dan Welden, and Charles Yoder. Sixty percent of sales will benefit the Eleanor Whitmore Early Childhood Center, Phoenix House Academy, the Retreat, and East End Hospice.
The gallery will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 11 to 5 through March 27.
Femme Films, Redux
Women Artist Filmmakers was founded in 1974 by Rosalind Schneider to support women artists who make films. The following year its members organized a film series as part of the exhibition “Women Artists Here and Now” at Ashawagh Hall in Springs.
In recognition of Women’s History Month, five of those films will be shown at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill on Friday at 6 p.m., after which Ms. Schneider will discuss them with Sara VanDerBeek, a Springs artist.
The program includes “SelfPortrait” by Maria Lassnig; “Plumb Line” by Carolee Schneemann; “Depot” by Susan Brockman; “Circles II” by Doris Chase, and “Parallax” by Ms. Schneider.
Tickets are $15, $5 for members and students.
Artists Draw and Speak
Programming in conjunction with the Southampton Arts Center’s exhibition “Outcropping: Indigenous Art Now” continues with a workshop and a panel discussion this weekend.
Friday afternoon at 1, Shane Weeks, a Shinnecock Nation artist, will pose in his traditional, largely self-made regalia -- the often sacred clothing, accessories, and objects worn or carried during ceremonies -- for a figure-drawing workshop led by Linda Capello. The cost is $25, $20 for members.
At 3 p.m. on Saturday, Mr. Weeks will moderate a free panel discussion featuring artists from the exhibition.
Pursuit of Beauty
“Milking the Rat,” a show of new work by Matt Nichols, is on view at Harper’s Apartment on the Upper East Side through April 16. Mr. Nichols’s paintings start from an impulse to paint flowers, but he goes on to challenge the importance of individual marks, with tufts, dollops, and globs of paint swirling over recognizable forms.
“I think that at its core, my practice has always been about the pursuit of beauty, be it through process, materials, or some combination of the two,” the artist has said. “I believe beauty can be an absolute.”
Rashid Johnson Honored
Rashid Johnson, an artist who divides his time between New York City and Bridgehampton, is one of six New York State artists selected to create permanent large-scale installations at the new Delta Airlines Terminal C at La Guardia Airport. The artworks celebrate the cultural heritage and diversity of the city.
Mr. Johnson is known for his use of a wide range of mediums to engage with his childhood, aspects of African-American intellectual history, and cultural identity. His installation, a massive mosaic, reflects the energy and excitement of the city's many different neighborhoods.
The other artists selected are Mariam Ghani, Aliza Nisenbaum, Virginia Overton, Ronny Quevedo, and Fred Wilson.
Flack in England
Two paintings by Audrey Flack are on view at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, England, in conjunction with an exhibition of work by Carlo Crivelli, a 15th-century Italian painter. “Pollock’s Cans” (2016) is a mashup of Crivelli’s “Pieta” from 1476 and the Abstract Expressionist’s painting tools. Ms. Flack’s “Madonna Della Candeletta” (2021) combines a portrait of her husband with Crivelli’s painting of the same name.
Both exhibitions will be on view through May 29.
