The East Hampton Library’s Tom Twomey Lecture Series will have “Big Ideas for Small Gardens,” a free two-part program featuring an illustrated talk followed by a tour of several nearby gardens, on Saturday morning.

Charlotte M. Frieze, a writer, landscape architect, and former garden editor of House & Garden magazine, will speak from 9:30 to 10:30. The self-led garden visits will follow. Maps and information about the houses on the tour will be distributed at the lecture.

Now at the Art Barge

“The Finder’s Eye,” an exhibition of work by artists who have used found materials in two and three-dimensional pieces, will be on view at the Art Barge Gallery on Napeague from Saturday through July 28. A reception will take place on Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Artists selected by Teri Kennedy for the exhibition are Scott Bluedorn, Rossa Cole, Mabel D’Amico, Elaine Grove, Rowan Hausman, Doris Lerman, Francisco Sainz, Stephen Soreff, Janice Stanton, Aurelio Torres, and Charles Waller. 

In addition to its regular schedule of art classes, the Art Barge will present “What Is Creative Education?” — a free series devoted to the teaching philosophies and processes of Mabel and Victor D’Amico, the institution’s founders. The classes will run from Monday through Friday, July 6, daily from 1 to 4 p.m.

Tara Israel at Duck Creek

The Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs will show “Bonac: Letters From Home,” photographs by Tara Israel, from Saturday through July 22, with a reception set for Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.

An East Hampton native, Ms. Israel has been photographing the people and domestic landscapes of the East End since 2009. The mostly unidentified images are of personal significance to the artist, chosen to trigger memories of her own life and to invite the viewer’s projections onto the narrative fragments. The exhibition is open Fridays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

At East Hampton Shed

Since 2012, Hadley Vogel has been organizing art exhibitions in East Hampton Shed, a project space in the backyard of her parents’ property at 30 Blue Jay Way. “Moondog,” a group show, will open on Saturday with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. and remain on view through July 22.

Participating artists are Hector Arce-Espasas, Trudy Benson, Jean-Baptiste Bernadet, Ethan Cook, Theodore Darst, Friedemann Heckel, Brian Kokoska, Larissa Lockshin, Lauren Luloff, Andrea McGinty, Landon Metz, Ricardo Morales-Hernandez, Marisa Olson, Nik Pence, Russell Tyler, Abigail Vogel, Rebecca Ward, Quay Quinn Wolf, Margo Wolowiec, and Lewis Teague Wright.

Three at Halsey McKay

The Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton will have on view a two-person show of paintings by Hope Gangloff and sculpture by Jennie Jieun Lee, and six paintings by Cynthia Talmadge, from Saturday through July 31. A reception will be held Saturday evening from 6 to 8.

In Ms. Gangloff’s portraits, the personal effects that surround the sitter become the subject, the sitter a foil for their presentation. Ms. Lee uses layered glazes, drips, and pours to add weight and levity to her porcelain and ceramic pieces. Ms. Talmadge’s paintings, created with sand, blend humor and nostalgia in their depiction the opening credits of television soap operas.

“About the Light”

Keyes Art in East Hampton will open “About the Light,” a group exhibition, with a reception on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. The show, which will continue through July 29, includes work by Willem de Kooning, Lester Johnson, a member of the second generation of the New York School, Mary Abbott, an Abstract Expressionist painter, and Darius Yektai, whose textural paintings feature figures, landscapes, and flowers.

Alliance at Ashawagh

A variety of mediums and styles will be on view when members of the Artists Alliance of East Hampton take over Ashawagh Hall in Springs for a summer show from Saturday through July 8. Receptions will take place on Saturday and July 7 from 5 to 8 p.m., and a meet-the-artists event is set for next Thursday from 6 to 7:30.

Banks and Miller in Sag

The Sara Nightingale Gallery in Sag Harbor will present concurrent solo shows of work by Monica Banks and Paton Miller from Saturday through July 26, with a reception set for Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m.

“Pulchritude” is the most recent series of porcelain cakes by Ms. Banks, whose feelings about problems in the world are expressed by tiny figures on her confections. Mr. Miller’s inventiveness and earthy palette enhance his paintings, which are inspired by his world travels and family life.

New at Iron Gate East

“See Memory: The Paintings and Films of Viviane Silvera” will open at Iron Gate East in Southampton with a reception on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. and continue through July 28.

“See Memory,” the artist’s 15-minute film, explores the personal nature of memory and the science of remembering. Made up of 10,000 painting stills, it will be shown during the reception at 6:30 and be followed by a discussion with Ms. Silvera. The show includes 23 paintings created for the film.

Brazilian Furniture Design

Jeff Lincoln Art and Design in Southampton will show “Brazilian Masters: From Mid-Century to Contemporary Furniture Design” from tomorrow through Aug. 15.

The works in the exhibition use natural forms to express “a reverence for nature and provide an enduring design legacy,” according to a release. Designers represented include Jaoquim Tenreiro, Sergio Rodrigues, Jose Zanine Caldes, Hugo Franca, and Julia Krantz.

William Wegman Speaks

William Wegman will be at BookHampton in East Hampton on Saturday at 5 p.m. with his new book, “William Wegman: Being Human,” which includes more than 300 photographs, including iconic images of his Weimaraners.

The Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center will launch a new series of film screenings, “Artists Love Movies,” on Sunday evening at 6 in the Pierson High School auditorium in Sag Harbor.

The first program will feature “Oblako-ray,” a Glasnost-era satire made by Nikolai Dostal after the fall of the Soviet Union. It has been selected by the artist Eric Fischl, who will lead a discussion after the screening. Admission is by a suggested $10 donation.

Other artists scheduled to participate are David Salle, Robert Wilson, Laurie Simmons, Sara Driver, April Gornik, Alex Israel, and Maria Bacardi. Future programs will be held at the Southampton Arts Center and the Ross School.

An art auction of work by more than 90 artists for the benefit of the cinema is now live on Paddle8. Participants include Ross Bleckner, Cindy Sherman, Mr. Fischl, Ms. Gornik, Mary Heilmann, Bryan Hunt, and many others. 

The Southampton Cultural Center will present “Bravo to Broadway,” three benefit concerts for Center Stage, tomorrow and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 3.

Darren Ottati will be joined by Ava Bianchi, Jenifer DeMeo, Amanda Kuchinski, Laura Lauriano, Bobby Peterson, and Jack Seabury in a program that will include songs from “Kiss Me, Kate,” “A Chorus Line,” “West Side Story,” “The Lion King,” and “Hello, Dolly!” Amanda Jones is the music director. Admission is $20 at the door, free for students 18 and under.

The center’s annual Concerts in the Park series will begin on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with a performance by Nancy Atlas and her band in Agawam Park. 

This year’s Market Art + Design fair proves that at least some exhibitors think they have a shot of making their booth fees back from sales to fickle visitors and jaded summer Hamptonites.

The fair returns with 80 exhibitors to its original landing site (then known as Art Market Hamptons), the grounds behind the Bridgehampton Museum along Corwith Avenue from next Thursday through July 8.

As in most fairs, the emphasis is on modern and contemporary art, in addition to design. This is the eighth year for the fair, which has outlasted Art Hamptons, where the fair co-owner Max Fishko was employed before setting off on his own almost a decade ago. He and his business partner, Jeffrey Wainhause, now run a series of fairs and events around the country under the aegis of Art Market Productions.

Art Hamptons has postponed its fair two years in a row and Art Southampton, the Hamptons arm of the popular December fair Art Miami, has again demurred this year after citing problems with locations and distracted summer collectors (presumably meaning low sales) in 2017.

In theory, the contraction from three fairs to one should tip the quality level upwards from what has been an often mediocre showing among all three fairs over the past few years, which have tended to feature resort galleries and third-tier secondary market emporiums. So who’s on the exhibitor list?

For one thing, it’s fairly packed with locals, which does raise the quality level. These include Lawrence Fine Art, Janet Lehr Fine Arts, and Roman Fine Art of East Hampton; Chase Edwards and RJD Gallery of Bridgehampton, and Peter Marcelle Project and Tripoli Gallery of Southampton. 

Two other Southampton Galleries are Noted, a recent addition to Job’s Lane, and ARDT Gallery. The latter seems only to have a presence on the online art and antiques site 1st Dibs, but lists its town as Southampton. It has been selling art since 2015, often at the local fairs. It seems to have a penchant for Pop Art memes, such as an artist who makes assemblages of photographic images of donuts to resemble historical and popular figures like Vincent Van Gogh and Alfred E. Newman.

Galleries from tourist or resort destinations such as Asbury Park, Boca Raton, Venice Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Joshua Tree, West Palm Beach, and Nashville in addition to a few contributions from more serious art cities like New York, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Paris, and the like are on this year’s roster.

A few, like David Benrimon Fine Art from New York City, are familiar from previous iterations of fairs such as Art Southampton. And as usual, a couple of Asian galleries are in evidence as well.

If it sounds like a mixed bag, it sure seems like one, with no blue chip marquee names in sight. Many of the familiar names of yesteryear are also nowhere to be found. It will be interesting to see how this fair is received and attended, aside from the expected big crowds making the scene on opening night, and whether James Thurber’s quote about martinis (“one is alright, two are too many . . .”) applies to art fairs here as well.

Next Thursday night’s V.I.P. preview is from 6 to 10. Regular fair hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, July 6, and July 7, and noon to 6 p.m. on July 8. General admission is $25.

Bridge Gardens, a community garden, classroom, and resource in Bridgehampton donated to the Peconic Land Trust by Jim Kilpatric and Harry Neyens in 2008, has just announced its summer programs and new year-round daily open hours.

This summer, the classes will include workshops on home vegetable gardening, low-impact lawn maintenance, and other advice and how-to demonstrations.

A music series, Fridays at Six, will bring concerts by Jack Licitra on July 20 and Joe Hampton and the King Pins on Aug. 17. Garden tours will be paired with regional wines on certain Fridays at 4 p.m., including tomorrow, July 27, and Aug. 24.

Budding and experienced artists will enjoy plein-air painting classes with Suzzanne Fokine. There will also be a benefit birdhouse exhibition and auction beginning Friday, July 6. and ending at the garden’s Nov. 10 autumn open house.

A complete list of all events is available on the Peconic Land Trust website.

Ever since she burst onto the comedy circuit in the late 1970s, Sandra Bernhard has sustained a singular career in film, television, music, radio, and, especially, live performance. When she brings “Sandemonium,” her new one-woman show, to Guild Hall on Saturday evening at 8, audiences can expect a unique and provocative mix of cabaret, stand-up, rock ’n’ roll, and social commentary.

Like “Sandyland,” her daily radio show on Sirius XM’s Radio Andy channel, her live performance won’t shy away from politics, “but I try to keep my shows upbeat and fun and smart,” she said. “ ‘Sandemonium’ is really a blend of things I find offbeat and amusing. It moves very quickly from story to story, all interwoven with music and songs. It covers a lot of cultural topics without my trying to pretend I know more than anybody else.”

Ms. Bernhard’s commitment to evolving as a performer and person has enabled her work to maintain its edge. “As culture moves through the blender and things shift, so does my work. Relationships, having a child, and friendships and family all get sort of thrown in. That keeps the shows fresh and my perspective from getting beaten down and cynical and jaded. Now, more than ever, people look to the performers they’ve gone to for years to bring them up and be a kind of constant in their lives.”

In addition to her radio and live shows, Ms. Bernhard is focused on acting. She guest starred on an episode of “Pose,” a new show produced by Ryan Murphy on FX, which will be airing in the coming weeks. “I’m always going up for acting roles, and I’d like nothing more than to end up back on a series that I’m excited about.” Among her film credits is Martin Scorsese’s “King of Comedy,” for which she received the best supporting actress award from the National Society of Film Critics in 1984.

Ms. Bernhard was born and raised in Flint, Mich., and has been a persistent critic of the water crisis that began in that city in 2014. Last week, she had as a guest on her radio show Mona Hanna-Attisha, the pediatrician who first exposed the crisis. 

“I’m looking forward to coming back out to the Hamptons,” she said. “It’s a combination of work and relaxing, and it’s always a treat.” Tickets for “Sandemonium” range from $50 to $150, $48 to $145 for members.

An Evening of Cole Porter

Guild Hall will present “Let’s Misbehave: The Music and Life of Cole Porter” on Sunday at 7 p.m. The program will feature four stars of musical theater, Anna Bergman, Todd Murray, KT Sullivan, and Lee Roy Reams, whose performances will be interspersed with reflections on their relationship to Porter’s music. 

The show is produced in association with Patricia Watt, who said the evening is dedicated to Lee Davis, an authority on the American musical and longtime Westhampton resident who died in 2011. 

Tickets are $40 to $75, $38 to $70 for members.

“Monteverdi and Bartok,” a benefit performance for the Amagansett Life-Saving and Coast Guard Station, will take place Friday evening at 7 at the historic structure on Atlantic Avenue in Amagansett. The performance will feature four singers, Deborah Carmichael, Kinga Cserjesi, Marisa Michelson, and Sara Serpa, all of whom practice the Libero Canto approach, a holistic method of singing and music-making that emphasizes freedom and authenticity.

Ms. Carmichael’s father, Joel Carmichael, purchased the station from the Town of East Hampton in 1966 and moved it to Bluff Road, where it became his family’s home. The structure was returned to its original location after the family donated it to the town in 2007.

The singers will be accompanied by Nikita Morozov and Yuri Namkung on violin, Valeriya Sholokhova on cello, and Danica Borisavljevic on piano. Six members of the Choral Society of the Hamptons will make a guest appearance. Admission is by a suggested donation of $25 at the door.

Two of the summer’s hottest tickets will undoubtedly be for Guild Hall’s “Midsummer Night Conversations on Creativity” with Questlove, the musician, designer, bandleader, producer, culinary entrepreneur, and writer.

Jerry Seinfeld will be Questlove’s guest on July 29 at 7 p.m., when the two will discuss their creative processes, their future challenges, and the intersection of art and commerce in their lives. Details of a second show, on Aug. 12, have not yet been announced.

Tickets range from $30 to $85, $28 to $80 for members; the $85 ticket level includes a V.I.P. reception in the garden after the show.

Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor will launch its Music Mondays concert series with “Jackie Hoffman: From Broadway to Bay Street” on Monday at 8 p.m. An Emmy nominee who starred in Bay Street’s 2013 production of “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” Ms. Hoffman will deliver an evening of show tunes, covers, original songs, and comedy.

Tickets range from $59 to $89. Upcoming programs in the series will include Norm Lewis (July 9), Lucie Arnaz (July 16), and Isaac Mizrahi (Aug. 6).
