Eligibility:

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, which are released in editions. Each featured artist has a generous six-page spread dedicated to them. This extensive art book also includes Point Pleasant Journal and Shoreline Voice publications in addition to the catalogue essays 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, on our Substack page, and on Artwork Archive. 

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

We no longer write or publish articles on painting, drawing, traditional sculpture, or traditional ceramics. These mediums are ineligible. 

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