Not just a space but a foundation of possibilities.
OUR MISSION
Building a living framework for artists to be seen, read, supported and remembered.
THE PICTORIAL FOUNDATION IS A SPACE FOR DIALOGUE BETWEEN ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES — WHERE PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE VISUAL ARTS INTERSECT WITH CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT AND EXPERIENCE. BASED IN NEWBURGH, NEW YORK, WE FOSTER THE CREATION, EXHIBITION AND EXPLORATION OF CONTEMPORARY MULTIDISCIPLINARY ART. WE ARE DEDICATED TO ADVANCING VISUAL STORYTELLING AS A FORCE FOR CONNECTION AND REFLECTION.
OPEN CALL: SHORT ART FILMS
PICTORIAL FOUNDATION
FILM FESTIVAL
We invite artists and filmmakers to submit short art films that expand the possibilities of moving image practice. Open to experimental film, documentary, performance, animation, video art, and expanded cinema, the festival celebrates works that are visually compelling, conceptually engaged, and artistically bold. Submissions should be between 3 and 30 minutes and may explore personal, social, poetic, political, or experimental approaches to contemporary storytelling through film.

CALL FOR MURAL ARTISTS
WOMEN IN PUBLIC SPACE
We invite women mural artists to submit proposals for a commissioned large-scale interior mural as part of an evolving annual Memorial Day Weekend event at the Pictorial Foundation ArtSpace in 2027. This commission is an opportunity to create work at scale, engage directly with the public during a live painting event, and contribute to an ongoing platform centered on visibility, authorship, and leadership in public space. Each year, the project will transform the ArtSpace into a site of exchange, bringing artists and audiences together through process, conversation, and collective experience.

Dear Karen, Dear Melanie,
How can I thank you enough for giving me the chance to be part of the first Pictorial Foundation exhibition? Thank you so much for your generous presence, the opportunity you give artists to express themselves about their art and the way you use such tact to make them visible. Only REAL ARTISTS are capable to do so.
I hope to continue this wonderful journey, for a long time with you!
Love you!
See you!
Negin
