Artists and the Ocean
ARC Fine Art in Amagansett, located in the barn at Charlie & Sons Landscapes, will open “Artists Meet the Sea: In Search of the Divine,” on Friday, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition will remain on view through Aug. 31.
The approaches of the 30 artists vary from peaceful images of the sea to whimsical views of activities at the water’s edge to concerns about environmental sustainability to the lure of the sea for surfers.
Speaking of surfers, a pastime for many East End artists, for one artist in the show, Pete Cabrinha, it is a career. He held the title of riding the largest wave ever (Maui’s “Jaws”), was a windsurfing world champion, and founded a kiting surf company.
On Sunday at 5 p.m., a conversation between Cabrinha and Biddle Duke, a writer and surfer, will benefit the Surfrider Foundation OceanKids program.
Breakfast will take place on Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m.
Collections as Portraiture
“Halo in a Haystack,” a solo show of mixed-media works by Michael Buhler-Rose, will open Saturday at the Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton and run through Aug. 10. A reception is set for July 25 from 6 to 8 p.m., when “Builders,” a group exhibition, will open in the upstairs gallery.
Each of Buhler-Rose’s pieces combines materials such as books, ritual paraphernalia, records, and other objects that together form a portrait of the artist and his relationships, memories, and objects of devotion. (He spent years living between India and the United States as a Hare Krishna student monk.)
The pieces are constructed from rare woods using the intarsia method, an intricate form of wood inlaying that dates from before the seventh century.
Images of Land and Sea
“Land and Sea,” a photography exhibition, opens Thursday at the Depot Gallery in Montauk and will continue through July 27. A reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
Richard Speedy’s photographs turn water into close-up abstractions, while Evan Reinheimer creates aerial photographs using cameras attached to kites. John Madere’s works include black-and-white portraits of surfers emerging from the ocean. Alex Ferrone, also an aerial photographer, has transitioned from helicopters to drones, while the natural world, especially its rugged aspects, inspires Richard Silver.
HIFF Names Poster Artist
HamptonsFilm has announced that Almond Zigmund, an East Hampton resident, has been selected as its poster artist for the 34th annual Hamptons International Film Festival, which will happen Oct. 2 through Oct. 12.
The poster features her “Red, White and Blue” (2025), a 22-by-30-inch monoprint on paper created at The Church in Sag Harbor with Samuel Havens, a master printer.

Artists in Conversation
In connection with its current exhibition, “Looking,” the Bridgehampton Museum will host a conversation with Rainer Andreesen and Christophe von Hohenberg, two of the three exhibiting artists, next Thursday at 4 p.m. The talk, which will be moderated by Lana Jokel, the show’s curator, will take place in the Nathaniel Rogers House.
Mizrahi Redux

The exhibition is open Friday from noon to 7, Saturday from 10 to 8, and Sunday from 11 to 7.
