The Salon Series, a program of concerts by award-winning young classical musicians, will return to the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill tomorrow evening at 6 with Tim Fain, a violinist who has not only performed with orchestras in the U.S. and abroad but has also appeared on screen in “Black Swan” and as a violin double for Richard Gere and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Mr. Fain, who plays an instrument made by Francesco Gobetti in Venice in 1717, will be accompanied on piano by Tanya Gabrielian, who was featured in the Salon Series last spring.

Subsequent concerts will feature Kimball Gallagher, a pianist who has played 300 concerts in 30 countries on his current tour, on April 24; Daria Rabotkina, a pianist who will perform with the Wasmuth String Quartet on May 1, and Yoonie Han, a South Korean pianist, whose program will include several compositions by George Gershwin. Tickets to the programs are $20, $10 for members.

Also at the Parrish, Jules Feiffer, the celebrated artist whose artwork from “Kill My Mother,” his noir graphic novel, is currently on view there, will have a conversation with Terrie Sultan, the museum’s director, and sign copies of his book on Saturday at 11 a.m. Tickets are $10, free for members, students, and children. An additional $30 will secure a copy of the book.

Madoo Talks, the Sagaponack conservancy’s program of spring garden talks, will conclude Sunday at noon with a talk by Stephen Orr, author of “The New American Herbal,” published last fall by Clarkson Potter.

Mr. Orr will examine the long tradition of herbals, while adding layers of new information about the herbs used today in homes and gardens. His book covers the entire spectrum of herbaceous plants, from culinary to ornamental to aromatic and medicinal, presenting them in an alphabetical format.

In The New York Times Book Review, Dominique Browning wrote, “Orr’s affection for herbs shines through every well-researched page of this book; his wonder and delight are infectious. . . . And he knows that just because a book is useful and intelligent, it doesn’t have to look scholarly and dull.”

Tickets are $30, $25 for members. A reception and book signing will follow the talk.

“Bach to Broadway,” a free concert by Barbara Fusco-Spera, a mezzo-soprano, and Walter Klauss, a pianist and conductor, will take place at the Old Whalers Church in Sag Harbor on Sunday at 4 p.m.

The program includes music by Bach, Barber, and selections from Bizet’s “Carmen,” as well as the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, Sondheim, Bernstein, and others. Several familiar spirituals will conclude the concert.

Ms. Fusco-Spera, a member of the voice faculty at Long Island University’s C.W. Post campus, has performed concerts and solo recitals throughout the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, and Africa. Mr. Klauss has a dual career as guest conductor of choral and orchestral works and as an organ recitalist. He was the minister of music at the Unitarian Church of All Souls in Manhattan for 28 years.

Any free-will offerings received will benefit the church’s Community House Fund.

Crossroads Music, the Amagansett shop offering musical instrument sales and repairs as well as lessons, has once again expanded its event offerings with the introduction of the Tiny Room Show, an intimate concert in which an audience of 30 can see and hear a celebrated musician up close and extremely personal.

Andy Aledort, a guitarist who performs with Dickey Betts, a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, will inaugurate the concert series on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Mr. Aledort, who is also a senior editor of Guitar World magazine and the creator of popular instructional books, CDs, and DVDs including “Jimi Hendrix Signature Licks: A Step-by-Step Breakdown of His Guitar Styles and Techniques,” previously led several workshops at Crossroads.

The series will continue on April 28 with Kerry Kearney, a blues guitarist who will perform with a small band. Mr. Kearney was inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame in 2013. Jeff Allegue, a member of New Life Crisis and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, will perform instrumental acoustic music with his son, Grant, on May 19.

Michael Clark, the owner of Crossroads and, earlier this month, grand marshal of the Am O’Gansett Parade, said that National Public Radio’s Tiny Desk Concert series was an inspiration for these events. With chairs provided by Bermuda Parties of East Hampton, which is sponsoring the series, just four rows of seating will accommodate the audience. Performers will be “barely miked, because you’re right there,” Mr. Clark said.

Mr. Aledort will perform for 60 minutes, or perhaps 90. “Andy will play all night,” Mr. Clark said, adding that he hopes for feedback from the audience, the better to craft an engaging event that people will want to experience again.

From its founding, on North Main Street in East Hampton, Crossroads has served as a meeting place for both player and listener. The store, now at Amagansett Square, has hosted many informal jam sessions and, for a time, a concert series called “On the Air at Crossroads” that was hosted by Cynthia Daniels, the music producer who owns and operates MonkMusic Studios in East Hampton. Ms. Daniels recorded and mixed the performances for later broadcast on WPPB/Peconic Public Broadcasting. Musicians, especially, appreciated the “On the Air” format, Mr. Clark said. Audiences “were coming to listen to the music — this is what it’s about.”

“I just want this to be different,” Mr. Clark said of the Tiny Room Shows. “There’s so much good music going on all over the place. I picked Tuesday because I don’t want to compete with anything. We just think it will just be a different thing for the community.”

Tickets for Tuesday’s Tiny Room Show featuring Andy Aledort cost $20 and are available at Crossroads Music. Reservations are required for seating, and standing-room tickets will be available on Tuesday evening.

Slow food, sustainable agriculture, organic farming, and farm-to-table are terms that are so ubiquitous in the ever-expanding culinary world that hardly a restaurant opens today that doesn’t tout its use of locally sourced organic ingredients.

Several chefs on the East End were early proponents of those practices before they became commonplace, among them Colin Ambrose, who purchased Estia in Amagansett in 1991 and planted a two-acre organic garden close by, on the property of Lorne Michaels, the producer of “Saturday Night Live,” which provided produce for the restaurant.

“One of the reasons I felt so comfortable going to Amagansett in 1991 was that I had just finished reading a book called ‘Striper’ by John Cole,” Mr. Ambrose said. The late Mr. Cole, a noted conservationist and the longtime editor of The Maine Times, grew up on Long Island and worked for years as a commercial fisherman on the South Fork, where he befriended many baymen, artists (among them Jackson Pollock), and writers.

Within two years, Estia began showcasing the work of local artists. It continued to do so until 1998, when Mr. Ambrose sold it and opened Estia’s Little Kitchen on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike. As they have been for many years, art and food are intertwined in his restaurants. (He opened a second in Darien, Conn., three years ago.)

“When I bought Estia’s Little Kitchen, I wanted to work hard on making its imagery tight with the striped bass,” he said, “because the striper story has always been a fundamental part of my connection to this community.” Two bass weathervanes by Bill King spin outside the restaurant. A large installation by Ross Watts of bass swimming in front of a haul seine spans a wooden fence in the backyard. A scrimshaw surfboard by Peter Spacek, etched with an image of what baymen call the “money fish,” hangs from the ceiling of one of the dining rooms.

Over the years the restaurateur has developed relationships with hundreds of artists, many of whom are regulars at Little Estia, and he now has a collection of some 120 artworks. “I call a lot of the work cheeseburger art, because many of the customers who are artists tend to eat cheeseburgers. John Torreano loves my cheeseburgers, Jim Gingerich likes to have a cheeseburger and a beer, Dan Rizzie prefers it in a salad with blue cheese and no bun.”

While Mr. Ambrose has always had art on his walls, he decided last year to mount recurrent exhibitions. On a recent Friday morning the walls featured photographs by Mansell Ambrose, his daughter, and watercolors by Mr. Torreano. “It’s a two-man show,” he said, “and what’s interesting about it is that it has accomplished my goal, which is to bring my garden into the restaurant for the winter.”

Last summer, Ms. Ambrose managed the raised beds in the garden, which grew the flowers for the restaurant’s tables. She photographed the garden, so that summer’s table flowers are winter’s wallflowers. Mr. Torreano’s photographs of the Sunburst squash bed were the basis for his watercolors.

The next exhibition, which will be on view from April 8 through June 1, will feature paintings by Barbara Thomas of Springs, a friend of Mr. Ambrose’s who has been painting local gardens and landscapes since the mid-’80s and growing vegetables herself for the past four years — carrots, kale, eggplant, acorn squash, cabbage, and more. For the show at Little Estia, she will exhibit a series of new paintings of the vegetables she has grown, working sometimes from photographs, sometimes from life.

“After I painted the red beets and red cabbage, I made some borscht,” said the artist. “Colin would have been proud of me. I felt like I really had a relationship with the vegetables through growing them, painting them, cooking them, eating them, and having them become compost.” She paints her subjects against solid backgrounds that complement their colors and bring out their brilliance, rather than in a garden or landscape.

Mr. Ambrose thinks of the disparate people who have threaded through his restaurants and his life as strings being sewn together into a community patchwork quilt. In June, that quilt will come to a new level of engagement with art and food, when the restaurant will host an exhibition, auction, and garden party fund-raiser to benefit Springs Seedlings and Project Most.

Project Most was founded in East Hampton in 2000 as a small program serving children at the John Marshall Elementary School. While the organization has grown, it remains dedicated to providing children a range of after-school enrichment activities, one of which is Springs Seedlings, a garden classroom and greenhouse at the Springs School. Joe Realmuto, the chef at Nick and Toni’s, and Bryan Futterman, late of Foody’s and now also at Nick and Toni’s, were among the founders of the program, which gives kids a place to go when classes end where they can grow, harvest, and taste food raised sustainably.

“We’re hoping that as the event starts to simmer and come to a boil, we’ll not only be selling tickets to the event and selling artwork,” said Mr. Ambrose. “We’ll also draw attention to the fact that kids in Springs have an opportunity after school to learn about growing food, to taste green beans off the vine, to study herbs and learn the differences between them. The idea is to support Project Most’s commitment to the edible schoolyard.”

Talk at Parrish

The next installment of “Brain Food,” the Parrish Art Museum’s lunchtime series of illustrated talks, will feature Scott Howe, the Parrish’s deputy director, who will discuss the museum’s landscape design and its connection to the geology and history of Long Island and to the artists inspired by the natural beauty of the East End. Tickets cost $10, free for members, students, and children.

Free Admission

Guild Hall has announced that all of its museum exhibitions and opening receptions will be free through April 2016, thanks to funding from Suffolk County National Bank and Donald and Barbara Zucker.

Coming up are the 77th annual Artist Members Exhibition, which will open May 2 and remain on view through June 6, and “Selfies and Portraits of the East End,” which will include work by Ross Bleckner, Chuck Close, John Hardy, William King, Joan Semmel, and Cindy Sherman, among many others. “Selfies” will open June 20, as will solo exhibitions of work by Hal Buckner and Nicole Bigar.

Calls for Artists

Two upcoming exhibitions are now accepting entries. The deadline for submissions to the Springs Mystery Art Sale, which supports the school’s Visiting Artists Program, is April 12. Interested artists who have not received application packets by mail have been asked to email [email protected]. Information is also available on the Springs Mystery Art Sale Facebook page.

For the first time, Guild Hall will not be mailing application packets for its upcoming members exhibition. All members wishing to participate can apply online at guildhall.org. Registration must be completed by April 20.

Spring Exhibit at S.C.C.

The Southampton Artists Association will hold its spring art exhibition at the Levitas Center for the Arts in the Southampton Cultural Center from today through April 12. An opening reception will happen Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m.

The exhibit will include photography, paintings, pastels, drawings, sculpture, and three-dimensional constructions. The association, which includes artists from Remsenburg to Montauk, holds four membership exhibitions each year and conducts classes, workshops, and other programs.

Full Day at Watermill Center

An exhibition of “Draped, Hollow Figures,” a site-specific work by Daniel Arsham, will open at the Watermill Center on Saturday at 4 p.m. and remain on view through June 7. The opening reception will be part of Saturdays @ WMC, an occasional series that opens the center for a full day of public programs and activities.

Mr. Arsham’s work straddles the line between art, architecture, and performance. He has created environments with eroded walls and stairs going nowhere, landscapes where nature overrides structures, and seemingly flat walls that morph into three-dimensions.

According to Robert Wilson, artistic director of the center, “Arsham challenges our perceptions of physical space in order to make architecture perform the improbable.”

Other programs on Saturday will include a puppet workshop with Julian Crouch and Saskia Lane from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.; tours of the building, grounds, and collection from 12:30 to 1:30 and 3:30 to 5; a picnic lunch on the grounds at 1, weather permitting, and Performance Art 101, a workshop conducted by Kembra Pfahler, from 2 to 3:30.

Ashawagh Duo

“Duo Tuo,” an exhibition of paintings by Jerry Schwabe and Kirsten Benfield, will take place tomorrow through Sunday at Ashawagh Hall in Springs. A reception will be held Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m.

Mr. Schwabe is a painter, photographer, and sculptor who will be represented in the show by watercolors, oils, and acrylics, including a new series of watercolors, “Wet Pavement,” which features soft, muted colors.

Born in New Zealand, Ms. Benfield came to New York City at the age of 26 and now lives and works in East Hampton. Her paintings are inspired by the region’s oceans and bays and informed by her study of color. 

The gallery will be open tomorrow from 1 to 7 p.m., Saturday from noon to 8, and Sunday from noon to 4.

Pollock-Krasner House

The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center will reopen on May 1 with an exhibition of sculpture by Neil Noland (1927-2013), who had a studio in Amagansett for many years. The season’s second show will be “Elaine de Kooning Portrayed,” which will feature portraits of her by such friends as Arshile Gorky, Ray Johnson, Fairfield Porter, Robert De Niro Jr., and her husband, Willem de Kooning. It will open Aug. 6.

The 2015 John H. Marburger III Memorial Lecture will take place at Guild Hall on July 26. Lisa Immordino Vreeland, a filmmaker, will preview and discuss her latest film, “Peggy Guggenheim: Art of This Century.” Ms. Vreeland directed “Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel,” a cinematic portrait of her grandmother-in-law.

The Lichtenstein lecture series will take place on Sunday afternoons in July and August, and “Artists on Film” will return on Friday evenings in September.

Although the Pollock-Krasner House is currently closed, its membership drive is on all year. Membership supports public programs, educational activities, and museum operations. One project under way is the renovation of the garage to accommodate a handicapped-accessible office and restroom. In addition to new members, the organization is always looking for volunteer docents.

More information can be found at sb.cc.stonybrook.edu/pkhouse.

The John Drew Theater Lab will present a free staged reading of “Life Is Shorts,” an evening of short plays by Kat O’Neill, on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. The program will weave together 18 brief plays written and directed by Ms. O’Neill.

The flavor of the plays is suggested by some of the titles: “A Drama in Five Words,” “I Met Frida Kahlo at a Diner and What a Bore She Turned Out to Be,” and “It Ain’t Over Till the Old Lady Stops Screwing.” Ms. O’Neill, who lives in East Hampton, has written for stage and screen and was named Best Emerging Playwright by Playwrights Preview Productions in New York City.

The production will star Joe Pallister, Lydia Franco-Hodges, Nick Fondulis, Dina Morgan Lotito, and James M. Lotito.

“Diller Scofidio + Renfro: Reimagining Lincoln Center and the High Line,” a 54-minute documentary produced by the Checkerboard Film Foundation, will be screened tomorrow at 6 p.m. at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill.

Founded in 1979, the interdisciplinary design firm is known for such projects as the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the School of American Ballet expansion in Manhattan, and the Broad Museum, currently under construction in Los Angeles. Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, the firm’s founders, have been awarded MacArthur Foundation “genius grants.”

Between 2004 and 2011, the firm, working with James Corner Field Operations, converted the derelict High Line railroad tracks in Chelsea into an elevated urban park. The firm also redesigned Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, the Juilliard School, and public spaces within the cultural complex, from 2003 to 2010.

The film includes commentary from the architects as well as interviews with New York City civic figures, critics, and theorists. Tickets are $10, free for members, students, and children.

The museum has also announced a collaboration with the City Center in Manhattan, where it will act as curator for the performing arts venue’s Frederic and Robin Neimark Seegal Video Gallery, a large video-display wall that extends the length of the center’s lobby.

The first work commissioned by the center and the museum is “Breakout,” a seven-minute, single-channel video by Lisa Gwilliam and Ray Sweeten that interacts with the gallery’s architecture. The installation, which explores rhythm, light, and distortion of the visual field, will remain on view through December.

The John Drew Theater Lab will present a free staged reading of “In a Roundabout Way,” a play by Kim Sykes, an actress, writer, and artist from New York City, on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

The play is set at a time of political partisanship, financial chaos, and the struggles of women and African-Americans for a place in the American dream. Two women, Mary Todd Lincoln and Elizabeth Keckley, a former slave who became a civil activist and confidante of the president’s widow, try to rekindle their friendship amid the upheavals of late-19th-century America.

Directed by Paul Hecht, the production stars Cynthia Darlow (Mrs. Lincoln), Ms. Sykes (Ms. Keckley), Anthony Michael Hobbs, and Peter Connolly.

Next Thursday evening at 7, the East Hampton Film Society will present “Chinatown,” Roman Polanski’s 1974 noir mystery set in Los Angeles in 1937. The film received 11 Academy Award nominations, including best picture, and won the award for best original screenplay.

The stellar cast includes Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, and John Huston, and Mr. Polanski in a brief but chilling cameo. Tickets are $8, $6 for members of Guild Hall.

The Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival, which will take place in December at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, will begin accepting submissions on Wednesday. Now in its eighth year, the festival celebrates the rich world of documentary films, with a particular emphasis on filmmakers from New York City and Long Island. Details about how to submit work can be found on ht2ff.com.

HT2FF also holds screenings throughout the year at different venues on the East End. A special showing of “Iris,” a documentary by Albert Maysles, who died on March 5, will be shown in his honor at Bay Street Theater on April 19 at 2:30 p.m.
