Dever and Perlman
The Bridgehampton Museum has embarked on a new initiative, organizing exhibitions featuring local artists as well as those in its collection. "Eric Dever: The Warhol Montauk Paintings" and "Joel Perlman: Finish and Form" are on view now through April 20.
Mr. Dever, who was invited by The Nature Conservancy to be a project artist at the Andy Warhol Preserve in Montauk, takes cues from the landscape and the natural world, exploring light sensitivity, shadow, and temperature.
Mr. Perlman is best known for his sculptures in welded steel, aluminum, and bronze. His work, says the museum, obliquely references the welded sculpture of Picasso and Julio Gonzalez, as well as the Futurism, Bauhaus, and Russian Constructivism movements.
"Green" in Montauk
In anticipation of spring and St. Patrick's Day, the Lucore Art Gallery in Montauk has opened "Green," a show of work by 14 East End artists. A reception will take place Saturday from 5 to 8, and the exhibition will run through April 1.
The show includes painting, prints, multimedia wall sculpture, and abstract, folk, and punk art. The exhibiting artists are Donna Corvi, Anahi DeCanio, Laurie Hall, Elisca Jeansonne, Edward Joseph, Haim Mizrahi, Peter Ngo, Dalton Portella, Alana Rogers, Janet Rojas, Andrea Sher, David Slater, Lenore Romm, and Steven Romm.
Monotype Workshop
A workshop in advanced monotype printmaking, open to participants who have taken a minimum of two monotype workshops at The Church, will take place at the Sag Harbor venue on Wednesday from 2 to 6 p.m.
The monotype is a one-of-a-kind impression made when ink or paint has been manipulated on a plate and then run through a printing press. This results in a unique and often surprising mirror image, transferred to the paper.
The class is $200, which includes all materials.
"True Colors" at White Room
"True Colors," an exhibition of work by nine artists, will open Friday at the White Room Gallery in East Hampton and continue through April 20. A reception is set for Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
The participating artists are Patrick Schmidt, Diego Velez, Seek One, Fringe, Stephane Gubert, Punk Me Tender, Taylor Smith, and, new to the gallery, Sabrina Cabado and Tanner Valant.
Works from the gallery's permanent collection, by Russell Young, Nelson De La Nuez, Markus Klinko, Craig Alan, and Greg Lotus, will also be on view.
Afro-Asian Imagery
"Myth Merging #herstory," a solo show of work by Rozeal, opens Thursday at the Hardware Gallery, the TriBeCa outpost of Sag Harbor's Keyes Art, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.
The exhibition features paintings, ceramics, and anime characters, which, according to the gallery, demonstrate the artist's use of symbolic figuration. Rozeal's work reflects an Afro-Asian aesthetic in multimedia collages, which blend traditional ukiyo-e print techniques using Japanese folklore, geisha, kabuki, and samurai imagery, with hip-hop references and African-American culture.
Financial Advice for Artists
Financial Fitness for Artists, a two-part program presented by Joyce Raimondo, the education coordinator at the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center in Springs, will take place there on Wednesday and again on April 2, both days from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Ms. Raimondo has promised to "debunk the myth of the starving artist" in Part I, presenting practical tips for selling and promoting art, and describing how modern artists can earn a prosperous living through their work.
In Part II, she will be joined by Carol Steinberg, an intellectual-property attorney, who will discuss copyright laws protecting artists' work and why registration is important, and Renee Vara, a court expert and artist advocate for creative rights, with 30 years as a certified appraiser.
Tickets are $10; registration links are on the Pollock-Krasner website.
Paintings of the Sea
The Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor will open "Tightlines," a group exhibition of contemporary paintings, with a reception on Saturday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The show will run through April 20.
Most of the works are inspired by the lives and lore of fishermen and the sea. The show is anchored by the gallery's newest artist, Rolf Hellem, whose upbringing in Norway influenced his paintings. Mr. Hellem has said, "I want to find this path that is a mix of 19th-century style, with badass brushstrokes."
Works by Daniela Astone, Marc Dalessio, Terry Elkins, John Morfis, and Rachel Personett are also on view.
Artists on Their Work
"East End Collected 8," a show of paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photography, video, and glass fusion by 28 East End artists, is at the Southampton Arts Center through May 4.
Participants include William Albertini, Eva Faye, Robert Harms, Joyce Kubat, and Stephen Laub, all of whom will be on hand to talk about their work on Saturday at 3 p.m.. The show's curators, Paton Miller and Christina Strassfield, will moderate the discussion, which is free.
Erotica at Eric Firestone
"Erotic City," a group show of work by more than 50 artists, organized by Martha Edelheit, opens Thursday with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Eric Firestone Gallery at 40 Great Jones Street in NoHo. It will continue through April 26.
Ms. Edelheit, who is 93, is a pioneering artist "whose work confronts dominant art historical paradigms by foregrounding female gaze and desire," according to the gallery. "Her lush work is at once critical, sensual, and humorous."
The artist herself has said, "While pornography will arouse, it will not delight. Pornography can give immediate physical relief. Erotica can arouse, but it also can give lasting aesthetic pleasure on many levels."
Among the artists with past or present East End connections are Eunice Golden, Carolee Schneemann, Joan Semmel, Laurie Simmons, and Hannah Wilke.
