Art Barge at Ashawagh
In 1955, Victor D'Amico, the founding director of the Museum of Modern Art's education department, began holding summer art classes and shows of student artwork at Ashawagh Hall in Springs. It remained the home for D'Amico's classes and exhibitions until the Art Barge was established on Napeague in 1980.
"Back at Ashawagh," which will feature a collection of artworks by Friends of the Art Barge, as well as pieces by trustees, instructors, and staff, is opening tomorrow and will remain on view through Wednesday. A reception will be held Friday from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
The show honors Joyce Parcher with a special segment celebrating her 40-year contribution to painting at the Art Barge.
Exhibition hours are Friday, 2 to 7:30, Saturday 9 to 5, and Sunday through Wednesday, 11 to 6.

More information, including a registration link and all requirements, can be found by searching for Members Exhibition on Guild Hall's website.
Representing Oceana
Pasifika, which refers to the Indigenous people of the Pacific Islands, is made up of cultures that include Samoan, Cook Island Maori, Tongan, Niuean, Fijian, Tuvaluan, and Kiribati.
Gisela Charfauros McDaniel, a diasporic Chamorro artist, and Dan Taulapapa McMullin, an artist and poet from Samoa, will be at The Church in Sag Harbor on Saturday at 6 p.m. to discuss their work as Pasifika Futurists, whose art focuses on Oceana and its peoples through a "decolonial" lens.
They will talk about the "trite," "colonial" framings of Oceania as "remote" and "exotic'" destinations, reducible to plastic dashboard Hula Girl figures and "doomed" islands whose loss to rising sea levels can be dismissed as a fait accompli.
Tickets are $10, $5 for members.
At Dan Welden's Studio
"Transformations on Litho Path," a show of work by Kerry Sharkey-Miller, Charlene Ortiz, and Rocio Snyder, will open at the Dan Welden Studio/Gallery, 1649 Millstone Road, Sag Harbor, on Sunday, with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m.
Ms. Sharkey-Miller will show works incorporating gold leaf on vellum combined with oxidized aluminum photographs as a direct interaction with nature. Ms. Ortiz, a printmaker, will exhibit mixed-media works on paper with an emphasis on architectural structure and an echo of color reflections and patterns. Ms. Snyder engages in traditional wood carving with hammer and chisel to create her art.
The exhibition will be open through Oct. 20 by appointment only, which can be arranged by calling Karen Meyers at 917-843-2555.
Four Photographers in Montauk
An exhibition of work by four photographers opens Thursday at the Depot Art Gallery in Montauk and will continue through Sept. 23. A reception is set for Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
Tom Carroll creates collage-like images, all in camera, that are visual stories using color, shapes, and design to compose works on metal. Shooting from a helicopter, Alex Ferrone produces natural abstractions of color, tones, and textures.
Richard Silver's photographs feature rugged aspects of the natural world, extreme weather, or changing light, with many shots taken at night. Lou Spitalnick's still lifes, especially flowers, are meant to emulate the works of the Old Masters.
Adriana Barone Solo
A retrospective exhibition of work by Adriana Barone opens Thursday at the John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor and will run through Oct. 31. A reception will take place Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m.
Ms. Barone's work ranges from almost childlike paintings of cats and other animals to abstractions to geometric floral compositions created with the artist Kryn Olson.
In an interview earlier this year in The Star, Ms. Barone said, "I am now painting, drawing, creating, and exploring different themes, mediums, and challenging myself -- making as many messes as I can."
