Plainfield artist Alonzo Adams grew up using the Plainfield Public Library, which is proud to own several of his original paintings and signed prints. The body of his work portrays contemporary Black lifestyles, "inspired by everyday sights and sounds that deserve immortality in a constantly changing world." His work has been featured in solo exhibitions at major public and private venues in the East, including Howard University and the Russell Senate Building in Washington, D.C. His works hang in the collections of Bill Cosby, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Maya Angelou and Senator Bill Bradley, among others.

Last February, Mr. Adams generously donated six prints of his artwork to Plainfield Public Library's Fine Arts Collection. In an effort to encourage Plainfield youth to "pick up a paint brush instead of a gun." He has plans to donate even more artwork, valued over $10,000, to various New Jersey organizations.
