Ocean County Library Jackson Branch to Feature Laurelton Art Society Reception & Exhibition

JACKSON TOWNSHIP – Meet the talented local artists of the Laurelton Art Society during an art reception in the Meeting Room of the Jackson Branch of the Ocean County Library from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 25. Works by the group will be on display throughout July and August.

The Brick Township-based organization is one of New Jersey’s most venerable art associations. It began four decades ago when a small group of artists pooled their efforts to provide a space in which creators and art aficionados could share ideas and budding artists could hone their skills. Members take part in monthly demonstrations of oils, watercolors, pastels, pen and ink, and more.

The Society offers cultural programs, demonstrations and workshops and annually grants scholarship awards to high schoolers who intend to pursue art studies. Members provide guidance to empower new artists, to encourage experimentation in mediums and to bring imagination into self-expression.

The Laurelton Art Society exhibition is free and open to the public during normal branch operating hours. For more information, visit or call the Jackson Branch, 2 Jackson Drive, 732-928-4400. See the full schedule of Library programs in the online Calendar of Events.
