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.
