A photo by Pierson High School student Brooke Esposito on view in "Sag Harbor in Focus."

“Sag Harbor in Focus,” an exhibition of photography created by students from Pierson High School, is currently on view at The Church in Sag Harbor. The work, created during the past year, is a visual reflection of the students’ experiences, diversity of interests and unique perspectives on living in Sag Harbor and growing up on the East End. It celebrates their resilience during this year of pandemic and social protest. It is also a tangible manifestation of their creativity, passion for photography and love for their community.

The show is curated by photographer Mary Ellen Bartley and the work is divided into seven categories: Portraiture, Still Life, Home, Outside World, Photojournalism, Virtual Learning and Emotions. The photographs will remain on view through May 31 at The Church, 48 Madison Street, Sag Harbor. The work can be viewed from noon to 2 p.m. Fridays through Sundays. Masks and social distancing are required.

Ann Pibal Shows In East Hampton

Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton presents “HSRQ,” Ann Pibal’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Seven new paintings make up the show and continue Pibal’s exploration of light as a thematic subject and material for painting. With a power that belies their modest scale, Pibal’s paintings, all made during lockdown, capitalize on the varying visual speeds of high-, mid-, or lo-Chroma color, subtle elaborations of brushstroke, and passages of matte, iridescent and glossy swaths of pigment. Her naturalistic sensibility marks light’s implicit demarcation of time while referencing several specific points of departure: books, portraits and landscapes. Pibal was born ... by Staff Writer
