Small Works in Springs

The second annual “March Madness: Small Works at the Library,” sponsored by the Springs Historical Society, will open at the hamlet’s library on Saturday and remain on view through March 30. A brunch reception will take place on Sunday from 11 to 1.

Organized by Teri Kennedy, the society’s curator, the show features the work of 40 Springs artists and members of the historical society. It continues a series of small works exhibitions that began in 2024 to offer Springs artists opportunities to show their work and highlight the efforts of the historical society to celebrate the role of the arts in the hamlet’s history.

The show can be seen during regular library hours, which are listed on the historical society’s website.

Love and Passion

Over 60 artists will be exhibiting across the street from the library when the “Love and Passion Art Show,” now in its 20th year, takes over Ashawagh Hall on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11:30 to 4.

Organized by Karyn Mannix, the exhibition will include paintings, sculpture, and photography. A reception will happen on Saturday from 4 to 7, and an open mike, hosted by Ms. Kennedy, is set for Sunday from 1:30 to 2:30.

Curator’s Tour

“Audrey Flack: Mid-Century to Post-Pop Baroque,” on view at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill through March 30, celebrates the artist’s seven-decade career that ranged from Abstract Expressionism to Photorealism to her recent large-scale paintings that combine elements of Renaissance and Baroque art history with contemporary references.

Kaitlin Halloran, the museum’s associate curator and publications manager, will lead a tour of the exhibition tomorrow at 3 p.m.

Tickets are $30, $24 for senior citizens, $12 for members’ guests, $10 for resident benefits passholders, and free for members, students, and children. Advance registration is recommended, as limited spaces will be available at the door.

Watercolor Workshop

Quincy Egginton, a watercolorist and printmaker who lives in Wainscott, will lead a six-session watercolor painting workshop at the Bridgehampton Museum starting on March 20 and continuing through April 24.

Open to all skill levels, the classes will include discussions of how to observe a subject followed by instruction on techniques and demonstrations to guide participants from drawing to painting. Students will be encouraged to experiment, and classes will end with critiques. Basic materials will be provided, but those who have supplies can provide their own.

Classes run from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The cost is $120, and the limit is 12 students. More information and registration are on the museum’s website.

Art’s Healing Power

“East End Veterans Art of Healing,” an exhibition celebrating the work of three East End veterans who have turned to marking art to help heal from P.T.S.D. and other traumas, will open in the lobby of Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor with a reception tomorrow from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and continue through April 13.

The participating artists are John Melillo, a disabled Vietnam veteran, Lisha Terry, who has served in the Coast Guard and Air National Guard overseas, and Angelique Williams, a Navy veteran who served abroad.

The show is open during the theater’s regular box office hours.

This article has been changed from its original and print versions to reflect that the watercolor workshop at the Bridgehampton Museum is limited to 12 people, not 15 as originally reported.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
