Gabriele Raacke Solo
“The Joy Must Go On,” a solo show of Gabriele Raacke’s figurative glass paintings and glass prints, as well as selected oil-on-canvas works from the 1980s and ’90s, will open Friday at Ashawagh Hall in Springs with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m.
“Living through strange times we should never forget to find joy in our daily lives,” said the artist. Ms. Raacke’s whimsical and witty paintings inevitably do just that.
The exhibition will also be open Saturday and Sunday, from 1 to 4 p.m.
Abstract Double Play
HaubrichArt in Springs will open a “conversation in abstraction” between works by Steven Corsano and John Haubrich with a reception on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. at 39 Isle of Wight Road.
Mr. Corsano’s small abstractions allow the viewer to enter his intimate world, a world in black and white, and color. Mr. Haubrich uses a mixture of collage and painting in his work, resulting in multilayered pieces created with paper, image transfer, and oil.
The gallery will remain open by appointment only through Sept. 28. It can be contacted by email to [email protected].

“Say It With Flowers,” a show of work by 26 artists, opens Thursday at the Depot Gallery in Montauk and will continue through Sept. 3. A reception is set for Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. On view are pastels, watercolors, oils, acrylics, ceramics, and glass.

White, and Rita Zimmer.
Landscape at Lucore
“Slice of Life,” an exhibition of contemporary landscape painting in five distinctive styles, opens Thursday at the Lucore Art Gallery in Montauk and will run through Sept. 16. A reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.
Featuring work by Amy Pollack, Carl Scorza, Doug Reina, Edward Joseph, and James Graham, the show takes its name from Mr. Joseph’s signature “slice paintings,” which will be on view alongside works by the other artists that reflect the variety of ways each responds to the East End’s natural beauty.
