CHATHAM, NJ — An art reception showcasing work by artist and educator Joanne Leone is coming to the Library of the Chathams this weekend.
The reception will be held from 2:15 to 4 p.m. Sunday, September 13, in the Lundt Room at the library, 214 Main Street.
According to the library's event listing, Leone is an award-winning painter, collage and assemblage artist who grew up in Newark and graduated from Newark Arts High School. She also spent 30 years teaching visual art in Newark Public Schools while continuing her own artistic practice.
Leone's solo work has been exhibited at Rutgers University and around the New York metropolitan area, the library said.
Works in the Chatham display will be available for purchase, with "a portion of the proceeds benefitting the library."
The opening reception is sponsored by Friends of the Library, and "everyone is invited to attend," according to the listing.
