(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- The Ocean County Library Toms River Branch is pleased to present its annual exhibit of works by members of the Ocean County Artists' Guild throughout the month of October. The display in the Second Floor Gallery will feature a wide array of styles and media that OCAG members hope will reflect the Guild's diversity and demonstrate the skills that professionals have honed in their Island Heights studios.
The organization took form in 1957 as a place for artists to create, chat and share ideas to promote visual arts. With more than 400 members today, the Guild maintains a full exhibit schedule in three galleries in its charming, yet bustling, Victorian headquarters.
“The Ocean County Artists’ Guild works with the region to bring high quality cultural experiences through art education, demonstrations, lectures and concerts,” a Guild spokesperson said. “The long-range goal is to be the region’s premier destination for art education and cultural experiences.”
The Ocean County Artists' Guild website contains information about exhibits, internships, volunteer opportunities and classes as well as a newsletter and its ongoing ArtBeat blog.
The exhibit is free and open to the public during normal Branch operating hours. No registration is required. For more details, stop by the OCL Toms River Branch, 101 Washington Street, call (732) 349-6200 or visit https://theoceancountylibrary.org/events.
