A Summer Hedge
"Hedge," an exhibition of work by David Kennedy Cutler and Monsieur Zohore, and "Various Positions," multimedia paintings by Janis Provisor, can be seen at the Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton through Aug. 30.
Mr. Cutler and Mr. Zohore have corresponded since 2018. "Hedge," their first collaboration, investigates materials and motifs that have appeared frequently in their work, including ropes, cages, walls, containers, trellises, barriers, vases, and windows.
Ms. Provisor's paintings "slip and slide from suggested imagery into pure abstraction," says the gallery. Their ethereal quality is advanced by her use of watercolor and water-based oil, whose properties pool, crackle, divide, and reconnect on the surface of the paintings.
Creation and Erasure
"Making Space: One of These Black Boys," a solo show of paintings by Tariku Shiferaw, an Ethiopian-American artist, is on view at the Southampton African American Museum through Nov. 30.
An abstract artist, Mr. Shiferaw is preoccupied by mark-making, which he observed in the graffiti crossed out by rival gangs when growing up in Los Angeles. Now living in New York, he has been influenced by the abundance of shipping pallets, a sign of global trade and commerce.
Inspired by both the pallets and the forms of redacted information found in some F.B.I. documents, he places horizontal bars on top of his compositions, blurring the boundaries between erasure and creation and creating a visual dialogue between painterly gestures and stark rectangles.
Davis Returns to Theater
In association with Keyes Art in Sag Harbor, the Bay Street Theater is holding an exhibition of works by Paul Davis, a renowned artist and illustrator, in its lobby gallery through Sept. 30. A reception will be held Friday from 5 to 7 p.m.
The show features a selection of Mr. Davis's most celebrated theater posters, created for Broadway shows, Off Broadway productions, and regional theater performances. Among the productions featured are David Hare's "Plenty" at the Public Theater, Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls" at the Booth Theatre, and Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance" at the Uris Theatre.
A Dance on Canvas
"Button Up and Play," an exhibition of paintings by Lucy Villeneuve, will open on Saturday at Keyes Art in Sag Harbor with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m., and will continue through August.
Ms. Villeneuve has said she works with elements of Taoism and, specifically, the Wu Wei, the art of nondoing, by which she means trying to focus on the experience of painting rather than the work itself. The result is a dialogue between the artist and whatever is happening on the canvas.
Open Studio at The Church
The Church in Sag Harbor will hold a late-night open studio Friday from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Artists working in all mediums can join, socialize, and work on projects of their choice.
Attendees are responsible for taking their own supplies, including easels, and for their own cleanup, which should begin before the event concludes. There is limited capacity, so the program will be first come, first served.
Tickets are $10, free for members, but only registering in advance or purchasing a ticket through the venue's website will guarantee a spot.
Art Barn Project
Scott Bluedorn and Harris Allen will inaugurate "Barn Project," a new collaborative art space at 367 Butter Lane, Bridgehampton, between 4 and 8 p.m. on Friday.
Mr. Allen, who lives in Sag Harbor, uses a high-speed video camera to capture nuances of the natural world. His video sculptures, paired with industrial LED displays, celebrate the East End's bodies of water.
Also based in Sag Harbor, Mr. Bluedorn is an artist, illustrator, and designer whose work in a variety of mediums is inspired by maritime history, cultural anthropology, myth, supernatural themes, and the natural world.
The exhibition will be on view through Labor Day by appointment, via phone to 631-296-0987 or email to [email protected].
Abstraction in Montauk
"Ethereal," a show of recent work by Imani Bilal, is opening Thursday at the Lucore Art Gallery in Montauk, to run through Aug. 29. A reception is set for Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.
Ms. Bilal is an abstract painter and poet who lives and works in Jersey City, N.J. Her work, says the gallery, is inspired by the many states of the human condition and is rooted in her Islamic practice.
She often paints while seated on the floor, using her hand, mouth, and found objects to create a variety of effects on canvas.
Quilt Show and Sell
The Water Mill Museum's 37th annual Quilt Show and Sale will open next Thursday and continue through Sept. 3, displaying creative quilts in all sizes and patterns, from classic, "crazy," vintage, and baby quilts to textile wall art, bedcovers and throws, and accessory items.
For the annual quilt raffle, Warren Frank has donated several handmade quilts created by his late wife, Bonnie Frank.
Museum hours are daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sundays from 1 to 4. The museum is closed on Wednesdays.

"Re-Imagined," a show of work from traditional makers, designers, and artists from around the world, can be seen at 96 Cove Hollow Road, East Hampton, Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. The exhibition includes designs in wood, metal, horsehair, denim, cassette tape, old maps, and waste sisal, among other materials.
Participating designers hail from Sweden, Portugal, Japan, Britain, Greece, the Netherlands, and the United States.

Scenes of Tuscan Life
Ben Fenske's annual solo show at the Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor will open with a reception on Friday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and continue through Sept. 8.
Mr. Fenske's subjects include Amy Florence, a painter and his muse, according to the gallery, as well as others in and around his home in Chianti, Italy, all captured in the ordinary moments of everyday life.
For example, in "Amy, Buddy" Ms. Florence reaches down to pat a happy dog as he rolls on the ground, with a panorama of the Tuscan landscape in the background.
East End Vistas
"Walking Dunes and East End Waters," an exhibition of photographs, glass art, and watercolors, will be at Ashawagh Hall in Springs Friday through Sunday.
Gurujeet Khalsa, whose previous work has featured such locations as Belize, Maine, and the Pacific Northwest, has also turned his camera to the Walking Dunes on Napeague.
Born and raised in Montauk, Teresa Lawler specializes in glass fusing and watercolor to depict the color and light of local vistas.
A reception will take place Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
The entry for the Art Barn Project has been changed from its original and print versions because there will not be a reception on Friday.
