Point Pleasant Publishing was founded in 2014 in Jersey City, New Jersey (currently based in the New Jersey Shore as well as beyond) and is an international contemporary art publisher specializing in writing critical essays.

Selected artists are featured with detailed curatorial review essays in the catalogue. Each featured artist has a generous six-page spread dedicated to them. This extensive linen wrap hardcover art book also includes Point Pleasant Journal and Shoreline Voice publications in addition to the catalogue articles and artist features. The writing by Point Pleasant Publishing is 100% human-created content, absolutely no artificial intelligence used. Essays are available on the Point Pleasant website and on Substack. 

Additionally, published artists will have one work of art on permanent display within our online gallery on Saatchi Art.

Eligibility Criteria:

Point Pleasant Publishing accepts alternative and experimental forms of visual art including photography, performance, moving-image (video / film), installation, fiber / textiles, assemblage, collage, jewelry, light design, printmaking, fashion / costume design, and analogue digital (no AI).

Artists are selected based on a variety of factors including originality, conceptual impact, overall cohesiveness of portfolio, and aesthetic qualities of the art. We especially encourage alternative / experimental and underrepresented artists to apply.
