ABOUT PETER & MASHA PLOTKIN
Art has been the backbone of the Plotkin Family history for generations, and it has always been our mission to continue to support the future of artists in memory of Peter and Masha Plotkin.
Learn more about the pair whose passion for arts and education lead to the creation of the Plotkin Foundation.
MEET THE FOUNDERS
Established in 1992 by brothers Peter Jr. and Morris Plotkin, the foundation serves as a tribute to their parents, Peter and Masha Plotkin.
Pete & Morrey had been talking about doing it for about 20 years. They had an apartment building that gave them the necessary cash flow to support this kind of non-profit. They always had a desire to support the “starving artist” like their dad was.
The foundation’s mission is to promote the arts by making donations to middle school, high school, and collegiate art programs, as well as showcasing Peter's paintings.
