Film Classics in Montauk

Winter Gardening
Is February a good time to grow winter vegetables, start new plants from seeds, and force bulbs indoors for an early display? These are some of the questions that will be answered on Saturday morning at 10:30 during "It's Winter: Let's Start Gardening," the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons' next roundtable discussion at the Bridgehampton Community House.
The guest speaker at the free event will be Renato Stafford, an organic-growing consultant who specializes in the planning, design, and installation of year-round organic vegetable gardens and greenhouses.

The Sixties Show will take over the stage on Saturday with a full multimedia concert experience including special effects, narration, and archival audio and newsreel footage, all to enhance note-for-note renditions of hits, B-sides, and deep cuts from the decade. Tickets range from $57 to $67.
Doors open at 7 for both shows; the music starts at 8.
New Foundation Head
John Giorno, a poet, performer, and visual artist who was an influential figure in the New York art scene for more than 50 years, lived in a house on the North Fork with his husband, the artist Ugo Rondinone, and had two sculptures installed in 2021 at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton.
The John Giorno Foundation, established in 2020 to support Giorno's legacy, has announced the appointment of Anthony Huberman as both its executive director and the artistic director of The Bunker, Giorno's longtime residence on the Bowery, which has become a venue for cultural programming by the foundation.
Mr. Huberman comes to the post after 10 years as the director and chief curator of the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts in San Francisco.
