THEIR DEBUT: Tuckerton-based Art Chat has mounted its first public group show, on display at the Little Egg Harbor branch of the Ocean County Library, now through the month of May. With about two dozen artists represented, it’s the largest number ever in a single show at the library. A reception is planned for Wednesday, May 11 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

PEACEFUL VIEW: One of the pieces in the show is Art Chat founder Nancy Glines’ watercolor painting ‘Calm,’ of Great Bay on a tranquil morning. (Artwork by Nancy Glines)

The Art Chat group is comprised of artists ranging from beginner to professional.
