Mr. Stanko’s work, described in a press release as “a world of art which blends life’s traditional scenes and imagined surroundings within a whirlwind of pop culture and color,” will be shown along with local scenes by Ron Rothman and Stacey Brandfon. The exhibit will be on view through Dec. 31.

The concert will feature Caroline Doctorow and the Streamrollers, Job Potter & Friends, and The Park Ave. Gypsies with Southold Slim.
