Hector Leonardi

The Drawing Room in East Hampton will present “Chromatic Journey,” a solo exhibition of paintings by Hector Leonardi, from tomorrow through July 15.

Mr. Leonardi, who studied at Yale with Josef Albers in the 1950s, builds up his canvases over time, layering acrylic paint in what he has called a conversation with the painting. He often affixes strips of dried acrylic paint to the abstract canvases, adding both depth to the surfaces as well as what the critic Robert C. Morgan has called “an unpredictable chromatic articulation virtually unparalleled in painting today.” 

An illustrated catalog will accompany the exhibition.

Hamptons Light

“Light of the Hamptons,” paintings by David Demers and Haim Mizrahi, will open Saturday at Janet Lehr Fine Arts in East Hampton with a reception from 8 to 10 p.m. It will continue through July 5.

The undulating, horizontal swaths of color in Mr. Demers’s large, abstract canvases reflect his interest in the energy and flow of nature and the colors of the East End landscape. Mr. Mizrahi’s poured and layered paintings recall “Kandinsky’s expressive colored masses and overlapping lines,” according to the gallery.

Two at Studio 11

Paintings by Louise Crandell and paper sculptures by Linda Miller will be on view at Studio 11 at the Red Horse Plaza in East Hampton from Saturday through July 8, with a reception set for Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.

Ms. Crandell draws upon her memories and dreams, which she fashions into “contemplative, ambiguous, otherworldly abstractions” through the use of layers of oil paint and wax. Ms. Miller uses paper, water, graphite and India ink to form a variety of solid objects, boxes, and vessels whose apparent density and heft belie their lightness and fragility. 

Group Show at Ashawagh

“Old and New,” a group exhibition organized by the artist Mark Perry, will be on view at Ashawagh Hall in Springs from tomorrow through June 24. A reception will take place Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.

The show explores changes that can occur in an artist’s style over time. It includes work by Anne Raymond, Roy Nicholson, Don Christensen, Denise Gale, Scott Bluedorn, James Kennedy, Sydney Albertini, John Haubrich, Gus Yero, Rosario Varela, George Singer, and Mr. Perry.

Performance at White Room

The White Room Gallery in Bridgehampton is partnering with I AM, a women’s creative collective, to present three performances this summer, the first set for Saturday at 6 p.m.

Titled “Flashback,” the event will explore the themes of freedom and fame through contemporary dance and live painting using body movement. Created in 2013 by Kate March, an American performance artist, I AM uses food, drink and performance to “bridge the gap between commercial and experimental art,” according to a release. Tickets are $50 and available through the gallery.

Three at Kramoris

Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor is presenting an exhibition of work by Herbert August, Isabel Pavao, and Bob Rothstein from today through July 5. An opening reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Mr. August’s abstract paintings, which explore color, shape, and texture, often begin with a reference to nature. The mixed-media works in Ms. Pavao’s ongoing “Impressions” series draw inspiration from her natural surroundings and combine organic forms with geometric structures. Mr. Rothstein’s mixed-media pieces have moved closer toward abstraction than his previous work, incorporating seemingly unrelated elements.

Four Painters at RJD

“Secrets of the Twisted and Entwined,” the next, tantalizingly named exhibition at RJD Gallery in Bridgehampton, will open Saturday with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.

The works range from the Surrealism of Salvatore Alessi to figurative portraits by Mary Jane Ansell to the often-contorted figures of Matt R. Martin to the M.C. Escher-inspired compositions of Alain Vaes. The show will continue through July 15.

Jeff Lincoln Art and Design

Jeff Lincoln Art and Design in Southampton will present photographs by Conrad de Kwiatkowski and paintings by Frederick Matys Thursz from tomorrow through Aug. 8.

Mr. Kwiatkowski’s “The Sea Glass Series” consists of large-scale photographs that explore the subject of space and light and challenge the perceptions of the viewer. 

“The Light Within” brings together late work by Mr. Thursz, who co-founded the Radical Painting Group in New York City in the 1970s to re-establish the political relevancy of painting at a time when it was out of favor. He died in 1992.

Contemporary Photography

MM Fine Art in Southampton will open a show of contemporary photography on Saturday with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. The show will run through July 1.

The  photographers include Miles Aldridge, Claudia Aronow, Peter Beard, Joey Farrell, David Gamble, Nan Goldin, Jefferson Hayman, Steven Klein, Christopher Makos, Steve Miller, Jonathan Morse, Joe Pintauro, Robin Rice, Stephen Schaub, Cindy Sherman, and Paul Solberg.

Mexican Enchantment

“Oh Joy,” a solo exhibition of paintings by Phyllis Chillingworth, who lives in Montauk, is on view through June 23 at the Atlantic Gallery in Chelsea. The paintings were inspired by time spent in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, where the artist found “beauty, inspiration, magic, and enchantment.” They reflect a shift in pictorial language from emphasis on brushstrokes to a focus on expressive color.

The Roy Lichtenstein Foundation has given the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York 400 works by the artist to serve as a study collection, the foundation and museum announced last week.

The foundation has also agreed to digitize working records from the artist’s studio with the Archives of American Art and to gift them to that organization in stages. The records include oral histories, interviews, an audio-visual collection, correspondence, exhibition files, and photographs of the artist, his art, and exhibition installations.

The Whitney will receive paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs, drawings, collages, and preparatory work and studio materials. They date from the early 1940s to Lichtenstein’s death in 1997. He had a house and studio in Southampton for many years.

“We have always intended that the foundation, now almost 20 years old, would not operate in perpetuity,” Dorothy Lichtenstein, its president and the artist’s widow, said in the announcement. This is the first set of “successor institutions” chosen to carry on after the foundation “sunsets,” as she put it.

“Furthermore, it is our long-range hope that Roy’s Washington Street studio would go to the Whitney as a venue for its extensive artistic and scholarly programming,” she said.

Several themes recurrent in Lichtenstein’s career are reflected in the collection, including abstractions, the American Indian, Americana, architecture, brushstrokes, landscapes and seascapes, mirrors and reflections, “Modern Art,” murals, “Perfects” and “Imperfects,” Pop, still lifes and interiors, and women and nudes. 

“The Study Collection traces the development of Lichtenstein’s process, from source material to sketch, drawing, collage, painting, print, and sculpture,” according to the Whitney.

The two organizations have already planned programs such as a fall course called How to Look, which will include a visit to the artist’s studio with the Lichtenstein scholar Michael Lobel. Conservators from the museum and Lichtenstein conservation experts will also participate in a “think tank” next spring having to do with conserving his art. The artist’s Manhattan studio will be on a spring tour along with Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney’s former studio.

The foundation was opened in 1999 and has since worked to make Lichtenstein’s work accessible to the public. A complete catalogue raisonné, which the foundation is still researching, will eventually be web-based.

This year’s Much Ado About Madoo, the Sagaponack conservancy’s annual cocktail party and garden market, will celebrate Jane Iselin, who is retiring as Madoo’s board president after six years.

The cocktail party, which will take place tomorrow from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., will feature the opening of the summer studio exhibition of photographs by Francine Fleischer, of animals from the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons. 

A live auction conducted by Jamie Niven will feature a pair of Robert Dash flower paintings from his 2001 Florilegium series. In addition, animal lovers will have an opportunity to bid on a pet photo portrait commission by Billy Sullivan. Tickets are $225, $200 for members, and $125 for those under 30. Ten percent of proceeds will benefit ARF Hamptons.

The garden market, which will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, will feature more than two dozen vendors of unusual plants, house and garden antiques, fashions for men and women, and gourmet food items. The market is free, and 10 percent of purchases will benefit Madoo.

Ms. Fleischer’s photographs are the centerpiece of #ARFRESCUELOVE, a new social media campaign conceived by Neil Kraft, a well-known advertising executive and an ARF adopter, and Amy Sullivan, a board member of the rescue fund.

Throughout last winter, the ARF conference room was transformed into a studio where Ms. Fleischer, who is also an ARF adopter, photographed 60 dogs and cats available for adoption. The campaign was originally developed only for social media, but Alejandro Saralegui, Madoo’s executive director, offered the summer studio space for an exhibition of the prints. M.S.

Philippe Petit, the French high-wire artist, will forever be known for his 1974 walk between the twin towers of the World Trade Center, an exploit he repeated, at a much lower altitude, at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton on the 40th anniversary of the feat.

Mr. Petit, also a gifted storyteller, will mine his experiences as a magician, street juggler, visual artist, carpenter, equestrian, and writer at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 22, at Guild Hall. He will recall how he learned to walk the wire the wrong way, he will mime how a juggler sold him misaligned clubs that were impossible to juggle, and he will reveal a bullfighting secret. He will also share the story of his first step on the legendary high-wire walk.

Tickets range from $40 to $85, $38 to $80 for members.

Martha Pichey, a playwright and screenwriter, will present a free multimedia event at the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum tomorrow evening at 6.

Titled “Women and Whaling,” the evening will begin with actors reading an excerpt from her new play “Drowning on Dry Land,” which is set in New Bedford, Mass., in 1871. She will also tell the stories of three women who went to sea, one of whom, Lizzie Edwards, was a whaling captain’s wife from Sag Harbor.

The program’s subtitle also promises “a diagram or two, and a sea shanty or three.” Ms. Pichey’s first play, “Ashes and Ink,” was presented at the JDT Lab at Guild Hall in 2015.

Ms. Rosario and Mr. Lopez-Cepero will be married in November.

Directed by Will Pomerantz, Bay Street’s associate artistic director, and choreographed by Marcos Santana, the intimately scaled, dance-filled production is set in an Argentinean tango club. The cast will also include Kyle Barisich as Magaldi and Gabi Campo as the mistress.

Ms. Rosario was most recently seen as Carla in the Kennedy Center’s production of “In the Heights.” Mr. Lopez-Cepero played Sky Masterson in the Theater Under the Stars’ Latin version of “Guys and Dolls.” Mr. Saunders was in “Aladdin the Musical” at the New Amsterdam Theater in Manhattan, where he will return in the fall.
