The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works about looking and being looked at. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, including 2D, 3D, etc.

What does it feel like to be looked at?

A part of us craves the attention of others. Kids beg to be observed as they dive into a pool. So many of us post pictures online, waiting for responses from our audience of friends and strangers. Being watched means that we may be loved, or that we may be important. Maybe others will be impressed! Maybe they will like us more—or maybe they will like us less. We modulate our behavior for that attention. It changes us. It creates ‘culture'.

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works of any genre, subject matter, and/or content that measures no more than 7 inches in any direction.

Every year Manifest produces a special exhibit of LITTLE works of art from around the world. 

Each iteration of the exhibit brings in hundreds of powerful yet diminutive works for our jury to consider. Inevitably this results in a gallery full of diverse, compelling, and exquisite little gems. Manifest’s patrons eagerly await the Magnitude SEVEN event each year. This annual project is one of the most varied exhibits in our season. So we are always excited to offer this call to artists to submit works no larger than seven inches in any dimension (any proportion). 

Standard presentation devices such as pedestals, mats, and frames that are not considered part of the work of art are not limited by the 7" criteria.

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works created by college juniors, seniors, and recent undergraduates in 2024, 2025, or 2026. Open to any and all 2d and 3d traditional and non-traditional visual arts media, genre, subject matter, and content.

Every year through this exhibition Manifest surveys work by students and recent graduates of art and design programs, seeking to assemble, promote, and document examples of the excellence being achieved by new or emerging artists for Rites of Passage. This exhibit, season publication, and award are intended to support that emergence. 

For a twenty-first straight year we offer this challenge to students and the recently graduated in regional, national, and international college undergraduate programs to show us what they have achieved, bring it off campus, and share it with our international viewing public. To date Manifest has exhibited student works representing over 232 different academic institutions!

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit complete applications to the Manifest Artist Residency program (MAR) and Scholar in Residence (SIR) located in the vibrant historic urban neighborhoods of East Walnut Hills and Clifton in Cincinnati, Ohio near the Ohio River, Eden Park, the Cincinnati Art Museum, numerous Universities, and within three miles of downtown Cincinnati and 'Over the Rhine’.

Applications will be reviewed on a competitive basis. Awards consist of 24/7 use of a private studio, free programming at Manifest Drawing Center, teaching consideration, public exposure, free entry to Manifest calls for entry, potential inclusion in a final showcase exhibit and end of season Manifest Exhibition Annual publication, as well as the presentation of a public artist talk at or near the conclusion of the Residency.

Each application must be accompanied by a $50 non-refundable submission fee.

Artists and photographers worldwide are invited to submit their best flora and fauna-inspired artworks. Best in Show receives a $150 cash prize, free entry into the Blu Sky Artist Award (with a chance to win $500), and their artwork featured as the official exhibition poster.

The Art-in-Architecture Program of the Capital Development Board is pleased to announce a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to Illinois professional artists to create permanent original public art for The Phillip J. Rock Center and School in Glen Ellyn, Illinois where a new 24,665 square foot building is being constructed to replace the existing facility built in the 1960s. Once complete the existing building will be demolished to make way for a playground and site improvements.

The Philip J. Rock Center and School is more than a facility; it is an extended family to parents and their children who live with both hearing and vision disabilities. Our devoted staff accompany the kids throughout the day, constantly working toward the goal of helping each student live as independently as possible according to their personal abilities. The shared vision of "Together for Independence" makes this a reality.

The Philip J. Rock Center and School serves students who are deafblind, blind or visually impaired, or deaf or hard-of-hearing. Also, many students have mental and/or physical impairments. These students have multiple needs and require a functional academic curriculum with a focus on daily living skills. It is a publicly funded residential school serving students from the age of three through their twenty-second birthday/school year.

AURORA BOREALIS is the title of a proposal that aims to add, through the imaginative and transformative power of art and beauty, a Boreal imagery to Aurora, the youngest and most "real" neighborhood in Turin. This is based on the premise that art is not an "exclusive" language, but an accessible and inclusive one, through which individuals and communities can not only feel represented but also become protagonists of processes to transform their habitat, actively becoming promoters of change and appropriation of the contexts in which they live.

The project includes a residency program for artists who are invited to transform from creators into community activators through the creation of public art works, realized through participatory processes conducted by the resident artists, which respond to the desires and needs of the community and will be donated to the community, finding placement in public or private spaces throughout the neighborhood.

The project includes three main actions:

1. The creation of Borealis, the new cultural and social center of the Aurora district, characterized by a schedule of activities and events defined through a co-programming process with stakeholders and local residents: ASSEMBLEA BOREALE.
2. The creation of public art works, realized through participatory processes conducted by resident artists, which respond to the desires and needs of the community and will be donated to the community, finding placement in public or private spaces throughout the neighborhood.
3. A new residency program for artists hosted at viadellafucina16 condominio-museo, who are invited to transform from creators into community activators and to lead training and participatory creation processes.

The project asserts the role of creativity and imagination as tools for social transformation and aims to generate a sense of civic responsibility among young people and the so-called vulnerable groups. These groups are called upon, both as recipients and active participants, to intervene in the territory where they live through relational and participatory artistic practices, to envision the future of their neighborhood. The planned group activities will be an important moment of training for both the artists and the beneficiaries, who will acquire specific technical-artistic skills and transversal competences such as creativity and critical thinking, to feel like active members of the community where they will find a recognized space for action. Furthermore, among the objectives is to increase the city's heritage of public art works in marginalized urban areas, by inviting new artistic entities to operate in relation to the territory and highlighting the city and its tangible and intangible heritage. 

Aurora Borealis represents a unique artist residency format on an international level, in which the relationship between the artist and the community is central in all phases of the process:

• in the commissioning and selection of artistic projects
• in the design and creation of artworks
• in the enjoyment and final return

Mission of the artists: The artists are called to transform from creators into community activators and to propose collective creation paths aimed at specific groups of beneficiaries (young residents of the neighborhood, young artists, students, women's groups, young migrants, young people with disabilities, etc.)

Benefits of the residency programme:

• a fee of 1600 euros
• an initial collective masterclass
• coverage of production costs for the artwork
• hospitality at viadellafucina16 condominio-museo (independent accommodation)
• workspace and area for conducting workshops
• technical assistance during the creation of the artwork
• cultural mediators for interaction with the beneficiaries of the co-creation processes
• curatorial support, press office, and networking
• video-photographic documentation of the residency
• possibility to organize public talks and other presentations
• in special cases, a partial or total reimbursement of travel costs will be considered

The call is open to artists active in any discipline who have a previous exhibition record and prior experience in participatory artistic practices.

When applying, artists are required to document their artistic journey and present a draft of the project they intend to realize.

The scientific committee—composed of distinguished figures from the world of contemporary arts and social innovation—will select a shortlist of finalist projects, of high artistic quality and social impact, to be submitted to the Boreal Assembly: a committee that citizens, associations, entities, and companies from the territory can spontaneously join.

Through this process, a total of six projects will be selected to access the residency program.

The COAL Prize 2025 dedicated to Freshwater is a call to fight against the drying up of our sensibilities towards it, to elevate it to its rightful place at the heart of general attention, to rehabilitate it in its symbolic and sacred prerogatives, to consider it as the ally and partner of our lives. It’s also a call to protect it, to play our part in restoring its natural cycles, to repair places that have been damaged, in solidarity with those, human and non-human, who are irretrievably affected. Created in 2010 by the COAL association, the COAL Prize is a vehicle for identifying, promotion, and disseminating artists around the world who bear witness to, imagine and experiment with solutions for transforming territories, ways of life, organization, and production.

Deadline August 7th, 2025

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works which incorporate text or letter forms. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, including 2D, 3D, etc.

Not long after humanity began drawing, drawings evolved into writing. Pictures became symbols, abstraction blossomed, and language became visual. Two branches, sharing one root, carried forward people's ideas, feelings, and plans. The visual and the verbal arts shared the role of encapsulating civilization's data. And they continue to do so today, in so many wondrous and varied ways. TEXTUALITY is an exhibit that inquires into the overlap of these two branches, seeking examples of where the verbal is made visual, where language returns into image.

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works of art about play, impulse, the fantastic, the fanciful, the mercurial, and the flighty. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, including 2D, 3D, etc.

A whimsical thing is playful. It is unserious in the best way, shrugging off gravitas to remain unencumbered by serious concerns. Whimsy embraces play and forgoes responsibility; whimsy makes light.

Capricious and cruel, curious and joyful, whimsy is a result of instinct, a spasmodic reaction to an itch. If you do something on a whim, you didn’t think about why you’re doing it, but you permit yourself to follow an impulse. Following that desire leads to unconventional results and embraces unpredicted ends. Whimsy builds to the wonderful and the surreal, inspired by flights of fantasy.

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites current visual art and design graduate students and MFA/MA degree recipients since January 2024 to submit works of art in any media, genre, subject matter, or content, traditional and non-traditional.

Every year Manifest offers an opportunity just for graduate students to exhibit at our gallery in Cincinnati. This 19th installment of the Master Pieces project will continue to reveal the intensity and professionalism of students working towards their terminal academic degree in the field of art or design. Often the most exceptional work comes out of these artists’ immersion in their culture of study and intellectual pursuit. Manifest’s goal, therefore, is to select works that set the standard of quality that the artist is expected to maintain throughout his or her professional career and justify the degree of Master.

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works of any genre, subject matter, and/or content that measures no more than 7 inches in any direction.

Every year Manifest produces a special exhibit of LITTLE works of art from around the world. 

Each iteration of the exhibit brings in hundreds of powerful yet diminutive works for our jury to consider. Inevitably this results in a gallery full of diverse, compelling, and exquisite little gems. Manifest’s patrons eagerly await the Magnitude SEVEN event each year. This annual project is one of the most varied exhibits in our season. So we are always excited to offer this call to artists to submit works no larger than seven inches in any dimension (any proportion). 

Standard presentation devices such as pedestals, mats, and frames that are not considered part of the work of art are not limited by the 7" criteria.

$45 for up to THREE entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry.

Includes honorarium of $50 for each exhibiting artist, and Grand Jury Award of $1,000 for one jury-selected work from among the exhibits on view.

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works created by college juniors, seniors, and recent undergraduates in 2024, 2025, or 2026. Open to any and all 2d and 3d traditional and non-traditional visual arts media, genre, subject matter, and content.

Every year through this exhibition Manifest surveys work by students and recent graduates of art and design programs, seeking to assemble, promote, and document examples of the excellence being achieved by new or emerging artists for Rites of Passage. This exhibit, season publication, and award are intended to support that emergence. 

For a twenty-first straight year we offer this challenge to students and the recently graduated in regional, national, and international college undergraduate programs to show us what they have achieved, bring it off campus, and share it with our international viewing public. To date Manifest has exhibited student works representing over 232 different academic institutions!
