(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Works by members of one of New Jersey's venerable art associations will be on display throughout the month of June in the Ocean County Library Toms River Branch. The Laurelton Art Society Exhibition will occupy the Second Floor Gallery, June 9 through July 29, 2025.

The Brick Township-based organization 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.

“Bear Footin’,” Patricia Monto Autore

The Laurelton Art Society Exhibition is free and open to the public during normal Branch operating hours. For more information, visit or call the OCL Toms River Branch, 101 Washington Street, (732) 349-6200. See the full schedule of Library programs in the online Calendar of Events.

OCL turns 100 this year and you’re why they’re celebrating! See details on Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, Spotify, Pinterest and https://theoceancountylibrary.org.
