Through rigorous storytelling and cultural commentary, Pigment International educates, advocates, and advances the Black art ecosystem by amplifying the voices of artists, collectors, curators, gallerists, institutions, and cultural leaders shaping Black art culture today.
In 2026, Pigment International will mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States with a year-long editorial focus titled America 250 – We Are The People. This initiative centers Black artists as vital narrators of the nation’s past, present, and future, highlighting how contemporary artists are interpreting the anniversary at a moment when the contributions of people of color and immigrants risk being minimized or erased from the historical record. Pigment International asserts that artists are among the most powerful chroniclers of this moment—capturing a more inclusive and enduring narrative of American history.
This editorial platform will be expressed across Pigment International’s two flagship publications:
Pigment Magazine
Pigment Magazine Issue VI, the Collector’s Edition, will debut in June 2026. The award-winning, oversized publication—recipient of Ozzie Awards for cover design—is printed in a controlled annual distribution of 5,000 copies and designed as a collectible, coffee-table-ready work with evergreen relevance.
Pigment International Newsletter
Published 50 times per year, the weekly newsletter reaches more than 10,000 subscribers with an average open rate exceeding 40 percent. Special issues include New Year perspectives on Black art, must-see exhibitions, national art fair coverage, Miami Art Week previews, Congressional Art Week, Black History Month, Women’s History Month and Black Fine Art Month. The newsletter generates approximately one million impressions per month.
