Monument
Sinds 1901 is het genootschap gevestigd in het monumentale pand ‘Dit is in Oostenrijck’, oorspronkelijk gebouwd in 1561. De kunstenaars beschikten (en beschikken) er over ateliers en expositieruimten, wat uniek is in Nederland. In de loop der eeuwen zijn honderden kunstenaars lid geweest van Pictura. Een flink aantal kunstenaars genoten ook buiten Dordrecht grote bekendheid, zoals Abraham van Strij, Johannes Cornelis Schotel, Willy Sluijter en Otto Dicke.
Today Pictura is an active society with over 130 working and 100 art-loving members.
