For Tim Tibus
A memorial show for Tim Tibus, an artist and Springs resident who died last September, will be held at Ashawagh Hall from Friday through Sunday, with a reception set for Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. The show will include approximately 100 works, ranging from very small pieces on wood to large seascapes and abstract paintings, according to the artist Elaine Grove, who organized it with her sons, Jimmy and Willie Christensen.
In addition to his own artwork, which he showed in group exhibitions at East End museums and galleries, Tibus was a longtime assistant to Ms. Grove’s husband, Dan Christensen, whose art was a big influence on him. Among other artists who influenced him were Larry Zox, for whom he worked briefly, and Jules Olitski.
Any proceeds from sales will help defray the cost of mounting the exhibition. The remainder will go to Lillian Tibus, Tim’s mother, who owns the artist’s estate and gave Ms. Grove permission to represent his work in the show.
Gallery hours are Friday from 4 to 6, Saturday from noon to 7, and Sunday from noon to 4.
Change at Drawing Room
After the current show at East Hampton’s Drawing Room Gallery closes on Sunday, Emily Goldstein, the gallery’s co-founder with Victoria Munroe, will take over sole leadership of the venue. Exhibitions will focus on artists who have contributed to the East End’s cultural landscape, including influential figures from previous generations and contemporary artists with active practices in the community.
As principal of Emily Goldstein Curatorial Projects, Ms. Goldstein will continue her longstanding role as an adviser to private collectors and estates, consulting on acquisitions, sales, and collection management.
Ms. Munroe, the principal of Victoria Munroe Fine Art on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, is launching a branch in Sag Harbor. Open by appointment, the showroom will specialize in 18th to 20th-century European works on paper, with a focus on the fields of natural history, design, architecture, and the decorative arts.
“Prowling” at Tripoli
“Prowling,” an exhibition of work by Sean Kinney, a multidisciplinary artist from Sag Harbor, will open at Tripoli Gallery in Wainscott with a reception Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. and continue through April 28,
While Mr. Kinney’s work ranges in medium, its one consistent component is language. Dabbling in fashion, design, celebrity, painting, and eating at restaurants, according to the gallery, his work in the exhibition will include lawn grass, for-sale signs, awnings, windows, shirts, socks, and blankets. He comments on societal classes while refusing to be consigned to any particular one.
Honor for Jeremy Dennis
Jeremy Dennis, the Shinnecock artist, founder of Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio, and co-curator of “Eternal Testament” at The Church in Sag Harbor, has been selected as a 2025 Civitella Fellow. He will be in residence at the Civitella Ranieri Foundation in Umbria, Italy, from mid-September to mid-October.
Each year, Civitella brings together 50 artists, writers, and composers, offering them time, space, and community within the Ranieri Castle. “I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity to focus on my work in such an inspiring environment,” Mr. Dennis said in an email.
