Peter Marino Art Foundation

What Peter Marino Art Foundation does

The Peter Marino Art Foundation is a private nonprofit art foundation established by architect Peter Marino and opened to the public in June 2021 in Southampton, New York. The foundation exhibits more than 500 artworks from The Peter Marino Collection — a personally curated inventory spanning from 3500 BC to the present day, encompassing paintings, sculpture, drawings, photography, furniture, and ceramics. Exhibitions are presented in a meticulously restored late 19th century landmarked building at 11 Jobs Lane that Marino purchased in 2018, comprising more than 8,000 square feet of exhibition space over two levels. The foundation operates as a seasonal cultural destination, open Thursdays through Saturdays from May through October, with guided tours at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm alongside self-guided visits.

The foundation's core offerings are rotating exhibitions of named, internationally recognized artists — the 2026 season features Y.Z. Kami, Betty Parsons / Carla Accardi, Robert Nava, and Tiffany Silver, while prior seasons showcased Georg Baselitz, Les Lalannes, Wolfgang Tillmans, Vienna 1900 decorative arts, and Andy Warhol. Recurring programming includes the 'Brunch with Bob' signature art talk series hosted by Co-Associate Directors Bob Colacello and Isabelle Marino, and the Peter Marino Book Club entering its fourth year in 2026. A merchandise shop is in preparation as an additional revenue surface alongside ticket sales. The foundation does not use meaningful technology infrastructure: distribution is via a direct online ticketing platform (tickets.pmaf.com) at $20 general admission, with discounted community-event pricing, and the website plus email newsletter serve as the primary marketing channels.

The business model is a seasonal direct-to-consumer cultural-tourism operation monetized through single-purchase admission tickets. The primary customer segment is art enthusiasts, collectors, and cultural tourists visiting the Hamptons between May and October. There are no disclosed enterprise customers, sponsors, membership programs, or external investors; the foundation is wholly owned and controlled by Peter Marino, with no parent company, no venture backing, and no funding rounds. The operation is small-scale, seasonal, and capacity-constrained by its single physical venue, with revenue a secondary objective to curatorial mission under its nonprofit structure.
