Founded to promote photography and the visual arts in a community setting, the East End Photographers Group provides a forum for both established and emerging artists to exhibit new work. This marks the group’s first exhibition at The Depot, home of the Montauk Artists Association since 1998. Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday, noon to 5 p.m. An opening reception with live music in the upstairs studio will be held Saturday, September 13, from 5 to 7 p.m. For more information, visit montaukartistsassociation.org or eastendphotogroup.org.

A public opening and reception take place Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the show concludes Sunday with a curator’s forum at 2 p.m., featuring art historian Helen Harrison and critic Phyllis Braff in conversation about “The Creative Decade, the 70s in Springs.” For more information, visit springshistoricalsociety.org.

Romany Kramoris Gallery, 41 Main Street, is presenting the works of Barbara Groot and Adriana Barone from Thursday, September 11, through October 2, with a reception for the artists on Saturday, September 13, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Barbara Groot, who grew up in Southern California before studying at UCLA and later working in Manhattan’s fashion industry, now lives in East Hampton. Her bold, lyrical canvases channel the East End’s light and natural beauty, with sweeping brushstrokes that carry the rhythm of musical phrasing and layered color that creates unexpected perspectives. Embracing what she calls “happy accidents,” her paintings invite viewers into a world of movement, luminosity, and openness. Adriana Barone, a Pratt Institute graduate with a background in fine art and art history, returned to painting after years devoted to energy healing in Sag Harbor. Her recent work blends intuitive mark making, imagery, humor, and spontaneity, with influences shaped by her studies with Nicholas Wilton, Linda Capello, John Haubrich, and Melora Griffis. Barone describes her process as a challenge of bringing freedom and life force to the canvas, relishing the breakthroughs that emerge from struggle. For more information, visit kramorisgallery.com.
