When Jill Musnicki says “I’m very much into nature,” it’s no wonder. A fourth-generation East Ender whose ancestors were Bridgehampton and Sagaponack farmers, the local terrain was her birthright. For the past five years, that legacy has informed her artwork.

A Parrish Road Show installation in 2012, “what comes around,”  marked the beginning of a photographic venture. She had placed numerous motion-activated surveillance cameras at various remote locations on the South Fork and recorded the ordinarily unseen behavior of animals in natural habitats. The images were assembled into a three-channel video installation shown in a barn at the Bridgehampton Historical Society. “It was something I had always wanted to do,” she said.

Since then Ms. Musnicki has undertaken several similar projects, one at the Andy Warhol Preserve in Montauk in connection with the Nature Conservancy, another with the Long Pond Greenbelt Nature Center. Her most recent work, “The Next Generation,” will be unveiled for one day only, on Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m., at her family’s nursery in Bridgehampton.

For this, Ms. Musnicki placed her cameras in Wainscott at Georgica Pond last spring, where a friend had told her a family of foxes lived. “The camera was supposed to keep going,” she said, “but it only worked for one day. However, I did get something like 5,000 images.” She explained why she had chosen not to turn the images into a video. “It’s just too technical. At this point, if I can’t do it myself, it’s upsetting to me.” Instead she will exhibit 10 photographs of the fox family, each one affixed to a tree in a wooded area. 

The photographs and the site are perfectly suited to each other. She will also show photographs of eagles taken by cameras set up in Sagaponack after a tip from a friend. “People get drawn into nature when you do a project like this, and they want to help; they keep their eyes open.”

“Fox are usually so elusive, it’s hard to get them, but in these photographs they look as if they’re posing. I couldn’t have staged it any better myself.” The photographs, each 10 x 10 inches, in editions of 30, will be sold through Salomon Contemporary. 

Speaking of her recent work, Ms. Musnicki said, “I hope to sit down someday and turn it all into something. In 20 years, when there’s no land left, it’ll be a real document.”

The reception will take place at 297 Paul’s Lane in Bridgehampton. The entrance to the long blacktop driveway will be marked.

The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will conclude its Jazz en Plein Air season with an outdoor performance by the Philippe Lemm Trio tomorrow evening at 6. Consisting of Mr. Lemm on drums, Jeff Koch on bass, and Angelo Di Loreto on piano, the group will draw from its repertory of traditional jazz, music influenced by progressive rock and classical, and their own arrangements of jazz standards.

Tickets are $10, free for members and students. Because table seating is limited to patrons of the Golden Pear Café, guests have been encouraged to take chairs and blankets.

Temple Adas Israel in Sag Harbor will present a klezmer concert featuring the renowned composer, singer, and pianist Polina Skovoroda-Shepherd and Lorin Sklamberg, lead singer of the Grammy Award-winning Klezmatics, on Saturday at 7 p.m.

The concert will include Yiddish folk and Slavic melodies in Yiddish, Odessa songs, Russian lyrics put to klezmer tunes, collective farm songs from a century ago, and modern original material exploring the musical connections between the steppes and the shtetl.

Klezmer music draws on centuries-old Jewish traditions and incorporates various sounds from European and international traditions, including Roma music, Eastern European folk music, French cafe music, and early jazz.

Tickets are $25 at the door, free for children under 13.

Kinnaman and Ramaekers in Bridgehampton will introduce Grace Coddington’s newly issued perfume, “Grace,” with a reception on Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. Ms. Coddington, creative director-at-large for Vogue magazine, developed the scent with Adrian Joffe and Comme des Garcons Parfum. Two sizes will be available for purchase, including specially designed labels that will be signed by Ms. Coddington at the reception.

Jazz at Lincoln Center will return to the Southampton Arts Center for a free outdoor concert on Saturday at 4 p.m. The program takes traveling professional jazz ensembles to communities to lead interactive performances for students and families. More free jazz will be on offer Sunday at noon, when Ada Rovatti (tenor saxophone) and Bill O’Connell (piano) will perform on the center’s front steps.

The free Friday night outdoor film series, held in partnership with the Hamptons International Film Festival, will present “Tootsie” tomorrow at 8:30. The film stars Dustin Hoffman as an out-of-work actor whose fortunes change when he auditions as a woman. The series will conclude on Friday, Sept. 2, as it does every year, with “Jaws.”

On Saturday evening at 7, the center will present “Under the Gun,” a documentary narrated by Katie Couric that examines the people and events that have propelled both sides of the gun debate. A panel discussion will follow the free screening.

The center’s third annual SummerFest benefit will take place next Thursday at 6 p.m. More information and tickets, which are priced from $250 and up, are available at the center’s website.

It has been 16 years since supporters of  East End Hospice first asked regional artists to create unique works of art from small, unadorned boxes that could be put up for auction to benefit the organization. 

Time has apparently done nothing to diminish the interest of artists and the public in the event. “Consistency has been good over the years,” said Arlene Bujese, chairwoman of the benefit. “I sometimes ask myself if we’ve had enough boxes, but the artists keep turning up and pushing themselves even further, building on what they did before. So there’s always something new, something fresh, and with Lucas Hunt as auctioneer we always have an upbeat time of it. The enthusiasm hasn’t waned, so why should we?”

This year’s auction will take place in Hoie Hall at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton on Aug. 27, with a silent auction and reception beginning at 4:30 p.m. and the live auction starting at 6. Savvy buyers will have an opportunity to preview the art at the same location on Wednesday and next Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and a “meet the artists” preview reception will take place on Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m.

Among the more than 80 artists participating in this year’s event are Eric Ernst, Sue Gussow, Carol Hunt, Tracy Jamar, Barry McCallion, Gabriele Raacke, Dan Welden, and Frank Wimberley. There are also five artist-couples: Dan Rizzie and Susan Lazarus-Reiman, Mary Antzak and Bill Kiriazis, Rex Lau and Diane Mayo, Rosanne and Walter Schwab, and Caren Sturmer and Randall Rosenthal. First-time contributors are Jackie Fuchs, Alice Hope, Lynn Leff, Setha Low, Bo Parsons, and Ms. Lazarus-Reimen.

Susan Kennedy Zeller, associate curator of Native American art at the Brooklyn Museum, will receive the Spirit of Community Award for her generous support of East End Hospice and the East Hampton community for many years.

This year’s auction coincides with the opening in March of the Kanas Center for Inpatient Hospice Care in Quiogue, where staff and volunteers provide 24-hour acute care as well as support for patients and their families from the entire East End.

“Many of the artists from Box Art are now part of the center’s permanent collection,” said Ms. Bujese. “April Gornik is not in this year’s auction because, having given us four prints for the center, we felt we had asked enough of her. That kind of generosity deserves a break. There are some changes this year. Sad to say, we lost Priscilla Bowden. But I think it’s important to add new artists from the community every year.” 

Tickets for the auction cost $75 and include wine and hors d’oeuvres.

With Labor Day weekend just around the corner, patrons are flocking to Guild Hall for an innovative series of end-of-summer performances. Only a handful of tickets remain for “New York City Ballet On and Off Stage,” an intimate look at the ballet company hosted by Jared Angle, a principal dancer, tomorrow at 8 p.m. The evening will include commentary by Mr. Angle as well as excerpts from the company’s repertory performed by him and fellow dancers. Tickets are priced from $45 to $100, $43 to $95 for members.

It’s no surprise that Saturday’s 8 p.m. program, “An Evening of New Music With ‘Hamilton’ Star Leslie Odom Jr.,” sold out well in advance. However, tickets still remain for another kind of musical experience, “The Lion,” Benjamin Scheuer’s coming-of-age story that will be presented Tuesday evening at 8. Armed with six guitars, Mr. Scheuer will lead the audience on a rock ’n’ roll journey from boyhood to manhood, as he discovers the redemptive power of music. His show won the Drama Desk award for Outstanding Solo Performance in 2015. Tickets range from $40 to $75, $38 to $70 for members.

Comedy will be king and queen on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. when four comedians, two female, two male, one of each gender married, one single, talk about relationships and share tales of love and not-love, bad dinners and good dates, broken cars and unbroken dreams. The comedians, all from late-night TV and Comedy Central, are Tony Deyo, Karen Bergreen, Leighann Lord, and Shaun Eli. The evening of laughs costs $30 to $50, $28 to $48 for members.

More comedy will be on tap next Thursday evening at 8 when Bill Boggs takes the stage with his “Talk Show Confidential: Confessions of a Talk Show Host.” The four-time Emmy Award winner has hosted shows on every network from PBS to NBC to the Food Network and the Travel Channel, among many, many others.

“Talk Show Confidential” ran for six years Off Broadway, but this year’s iteration incudes new material. “I’ve created a brand-new opening about living in East Hampton,” said Mr. Boggs, who bought a house in Springs three years ago and has been coming here since the late 1970s. “You don’t have to know who I am to dig this play. We watch television all the time, but this is the only play I know of that has to do with the reality of being on television.” Mr. Boggs’s stories about everyone from Frank Sinatra to Lou Reed can be heard for $20 to $40, $18 to $38 for members.

A break from music and comedy takes place Monday at 7 p.m. when Alec Baldwin will moderate a discussion about the U.S. Supreme Court. The Hamptons Institute program will include panelists Michael Keegan, president of People for the American Way; Adam Liptak, a lawyer and the Supreme Court correspondent for The New York Times, and Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice at the N.Y.U. School of Law. Tickets cost $25, $23 for members. A donation of $500 will add a pre-program wine reception and a post-program dinner with the speakers at a private home.

When Edwina von Gal, the landscape designer who founded the Perfect Earth Project, throws a party, you can bet that the music will be top-notch, and the lineup for her nonprofit’s biennial family picnic and concert on Labor Day weekend is a case in point. 

Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie will headline the Sept. 3 event, which will be at Cindy Sherman’s Springs-Fireplace Road property on Accabonac Harbor. Also performing will be Suzanne Vega, Rufus Wainwright, Teddy Thompson, Jenni Muldaur, and G.E. Smith. The fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi will be the master of ceremonies. 

This is the third biennial fund-raiser for the organization Ms. von Gal founded to advocate for toxin-free lawns and landscaping. Roger Waters, a co-founder of Pink Floyd, was the special guest at the 2014 picnic, and the late Lou Reed played the first one in 2012. On Sept. 3 the event will run from 3 to 7 p.m. In addition to the music, it will include activities for kids and a wild animal petting zoo with creatures from the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. 

The Perfect Earth Project works to educate landscape professionals and homeowners both here and around the world about the dangers synthetic lawn and landscaping chemicals pose to people and their pets. 

Tickets for the family picnic start at $1,000 ($100 for children) and can be reserved online at perfectearthproject.org. In case of rain, the event will be held on Sept. 4. 

Migguel Anggelo and his band, the Immigrants, will perform a free concert on the outdoor stage of the Southampton Arts Center on Saturday at 6 p.m. The group has recently returned from Russia, where it shared a vibrant fusion of Latin and American culture in sold-out shows in concert halls and music festivals and performed at the home of the U.S. ambassador.

The show will feature the Latin music of Augustin Lara, the Buena Vista Social Club, and Astor Piazzolla. In addition to original compositions by Mr. Anggelo and Mau Quiros, the musical director, the band will interpret the music of such legendary artists as Celia Cruz and Los Panchos. The center recommends not only chairs, blankets, and picnics for the rain-or-shine concert but also “your dancin’ shoes.”

Next Thursday at the center, Go People, a professional theater company founded by British actors, will stage “Bell, Book, and Candle,” a romantic comedy by John Van Druten about a city-dwelling witch who falls for her next-door neighbor. Unfortunately — or not — she will lose her powers if she falls in love. The free performance will take place at 7 p.m.

“The Sonic Garden Party,” a presentation of LongHouse Reserve’s Junior Council, will take place Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. at the East Hampton reserve and sculpture garden.

An exploration of sound and community set in the venue’s gardens, the evening will include music selected by National Sawdust with performances by Bora Yoon, who will create a site-specific electroacoustic musical soundscape, and Colin Self, who will perform a series of vocal and electronic compositions and narratives.

“Sonambient,” a sound installation by the sculptor Harry Bertoia, will be on display in Buckminster Fuller’s ”Fly Eye Dome,” and John Brien will create an immersive, four-channel audio installation using samples of Bertoia’s private recordings. 

The event, for which tickets cost $100, will also feature a silent auction of handcrafted sonic sculptures by Scott Bluedorn, Fitzhugh Karol, Nick Martin, and Nico Yektai, as well as complimentary drinks, food for purchase from a food truck, and an interactive drum circle finale.
