Hildy Maze at Ashawagh
Hildy Maze was an artist who exhibited widely and lived in Springs for almost 40 years before her sudden death in 2020. While she left a will, it went to probate and didn’t get resolved until 2023. Until then, her artwork essentially remained in limbo.
A foundation has since been formed in her name with the goal of using the proceeds from her estate to show and sell her work. One of the four board members, the artist Veronica Mahoney, a good friend of Maze, has organized an exhibition of her paintings that will be on view at Ashawagh Hall in Springs from Friday through Monday, with a reception set for Friday from 5 to 7 p.m.
The show consists of 10 to 15 large mixed-media paintings and some smaller works. According to Ms. Mahoney, the works span the trajectory of Maze’s career, from Pattern and Decoration to Abstract Expressionism to a final return to figuration.
Charles McGill Solo
“Baggage,” a solo exhibition of works by Charles McGill (1964-2017), will open Friday at Tripoli Gallery in Wainscott and continue through Oct. 20. A reception will happen Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
Presented in partnership with Robert M. Rubin, a writer and curator, the show brings together works McGill made between 2011 and 2016 by deconstructing and reconfiguring fragments of old golf bags. While the artist started out as a golf pro in Westchester County, he attended the School of Visual Arts and earned his M.F.A. at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
Mr. Rubin, whose relationship with McGill dates back 25 years, noted, among the references in his work, “Michelangelo’s tondos, Gericault’s raft, Nancy Grossman leatherheads, with nods to Guston, Chamberlain, Oldenburg, Johns, and Basquiat,” among others.
Solomon on Park and Brooks
In conjunction with its current exhibition, “Charlotte Park and James Brooks — Of This place,” the Leiber Collection in Springs will host “Charlotte and Jim: A Personal Reminiscence” on Sunday at 4 p.m.
Mike Solomon, an artist whose close relationship with Park and Brooks spanned the days of his childhood until their deaths, will share personal stories about them as artists and East End residents and discuss their contributions to the local art community.
The event will be moderated by Christine Berry, co-founder of the Berry Campbell Gallery in Chelsea, which represents the estates of both Park and Brooks.
Auction for a Cause
Over the past year, visiting artists have added their marks to the Oscar Molina Studio Artist Guestbook Canvas. Mr. Molina, an artist based in Southampton, will be at Keyes Art in Sag Harbor on Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. to unveil the completed collaborative artwork, which will be auctioned at 2.
Angela LaGreca, an Emmy Award-winning producer and writer, will conduct the auction. One hundred percent of proceeds will benefit the CUBO Project in El Salvador, where Mr. Molina was born and raised. By creating safe, inclusive public spaces for recreation, education, culture, and digital access, CUBO empowers underserved communities in that country.
Sean Scully Gallery Tour
In connection with the Parrish Art Museum’s current exhibition “Sean Scully: The Albee Barn, Montauk,” Mr. Scully will be there on Saturday at noon to lead a tour of the show before it closes on Sunday.
A survey of his work ranging from 1981 to 2024, the show illuminates how a month spent at the barn in Montauk in the summer of 1982 became a transformative moment in the artist’s career.
Tickets are $30 for adults, $24 for senior citizens, $22 for members’ guests, $12 for resident benefits passholders, free for members, students, and children.
Surf Culture
“Wash Ashore,” an exhibition celebrating Montauk’s surf culture and “the spirit of the sea,” opens Thursday at the Lucore Art Gallery in that hamlet and will run through Oct. 7. A reception will be held Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.
The show includes work by Alicia Suarez, Dalton Portella, John Madere, Peter Spacek, and Tony Caramanico. The anchor of the exhibition is John Madere’s “Watermarked” portrait series, which captures members of the Montauk surf community immediately after they emerge from the ocean.
Group Show at Ma’s House
“Resilient Roots,” a group exhibition celebrating the strength, adaptability, and spirit of the Shinnecock community, can be seen at Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio on the Shinnecock Reservation through Nov. 16.
Organized by Jeremy Dennis, a Shinnecock artist, the show brings together new works by over 40 Indigenous and BIPOC artists that explore resilience through survival, healing, cultural preservation, environmental care, and the strength of community and identity.
Nautical Art
“Tides of Creativity,” a show of work by Mary Godfrey, Ragan Ingram, Meredith O’Leary, Dean McNamara, and Holly Rist, is now on view at the Southampton Cultural Center through Oct. 26.
Consisting of painting, photography, and gyotaku, or fish printing, the works range from impressions of marine life to sweeping views of seascapes to abstract interpretations of water’s shifting rhythms.
