Manifest Calls To Artists
CALLS TO ARTISTS
Two Projects Deadline in Less Than Two Weeks!
G U I D E B O O K
An International Competitive Exhibit of Works of Collage and Assemblage
Creativity and cultural expression find sources of inspiration in surprising places, and within unexpected materials. One might say that the truly creative life is one lived in such a way that ordinary things, or those not commonly considered ‘artful’ are suddenly seen as being sublime. Certainly many types of art can provide a glimpse into this creative way. But works of collage and assemblage might do it best. So, with GUIDEBOOK Manifest sets out to present an exhibit which explores such work - an exhibit that may in fact serve as a guidebook to a creative, enlightened way of seeing and being in the world.

6th Annual
MAGNITUDE 7
An International Competitive Exhibit of SMALL WORKS
Every year Manifest calls for little works of art from around the world. Like short poetry, they are a challenge to craft with the same presence of their larger counterparts. Each exhibit brings in hundreds of powerful yet diminutive masterpieces for our jury to mull over. Inevitably we end up with a gallery full of diverse, compelling, and exquisite little gems. Manifest’s patrons eagerly await the Magnitude SEVEN event each year. So without further ado, we offer this call to artists to submit works no larger than seven inches in any dimension (any proportion). Standard presentation devices like mats and frames that are not considered part of the work of art are not limited by the 7" criteria.

An International Competitive Exhibit of Works Exploring the Uncovered Human Form in Current Art
Manifest exhibits many kinds of works, from the most conceptual and experimental to more traditional. In fact we think it's important to have such a range in our repertoire. In our Drawing Center Studio we provide opportunities and instruction to professionals and students to study life-drawing. Although our studio is not limited to working just from the nude model, it is a core component in our curriculum, and our flagship studio offering.
So a year ago we asked ourselves - why not add another annual exhibit to our roster, this one dedicated to works that in some way depict, explore, or address the human nude form? The first exhibit turned out to be a huge success in terms of response from artists as well as critical praise and number of people visiting the gallery to see the exhibit.
This year we are excited to renew our invitation to artists to submit works in any media, of any style or genre, (abstract, conceptual, highly realistic, etc.), and of any size, for consideration in Manifest's second annual NUDE, an international competitive exhibit exploring the uncovered human form in current art.

1st International Painting Annual (INPA)
A Competitive Annual Publication of Works of Contemporary Painting and
Writing about Painting
$1000 in cash prizes.
In celebration of Manifest's fifth anniversary (January 2010) we are very proud to announce this next major step in Manifest Press's evolution in fulfilling the Manifest non-profit mission to stand for quality in the visual arts... The International PAINTING Annual.
The INPA will be a complementary project to the ongoing Drawing Annual (INDA). The goal of the INPA will be to support the recognition, documentation, and publication of excellent, current, and relevant works of painting from around the world. As a carefully designed high-end book, the INPA will enable Manifest to assemble a diverse array of works of painting by international artists, without the limitation of physical availability, gallery space, or shipping logistics. With this Manifest leverages its considerable experience in publication design specifically for works of art, with a high level of sensitivity to the artist's point of view.
In 2005 Manifest launched the International Drawing Annual project. In four completed volumes (the 5th is currently in production) the INDA has presented three hundred and three works by 166 artists from around the world, and distributed the books far and wide to collectors, patrons, libraries, museum bookstores, art students, professors, and artists. Thousands view the online supplemental resources provided with each publication. The project has gained a great deal of credibility over the past five years, making the INDA a respected source for a consistent, balanced, and intriguing sampling of excellent contemporary drawing. The INPA will parallel the Drawing Annual series, exploring and taking stock of this nearest kin to drawing, and bringing more excellent art by more artists to even more people than ever before.
Manifest's book and gallery projects have become highly competitive and prestigious events for artists to be involved with. And each new project brings different artists together, with new work, in new ways, and with always surprising results. Furthermore, Manifest's books are designed and printed with the utmost care and attention to design integrity, making them exquisite documents of the art contained within.
Both soft and hardcover versions of the INPA will be printed and available by spring of 2011.
Submission process now open.

MASTER PIECES
An International Competitive Juried Exhibit
of Works by New Masters
Manifest ends its season with a call for current graduate students or
MFA/MA graduates since July 2009
Some say there is a glut of artists with MFA degrees in the world - that they are a dime a dozen. Unless academia is conferring this terminal fine art degree on anyone willing to pay the often staggering price for it, this devaluation of the degreed Master is indicative, we feel, of a systemic problem in society. The role of the master artist as cultural observer, intellectual mystic, and social healer is trivialized and misunderstood. Some suggest that an academic degree has no power to establish one's mastery of an art form - that only hard work and trial by fire in the 'real world' can do that. But these critics are, one might guess, those who either did not try, or could not survive the grueling critiques and endless all-nighters in the framework of the academic graduate process. Certainly, to say one is a Master is not to devalue other means of attaining excellence or status. But to have studied in the context of a university or college program, with rigorous requirements, and gained the terminal degree of Master surely warrants some merit. With this in mind this 4th Annual Master Pieces will seek to present the best works by the best new Masters in 2010.

Call for Artists - University Circle Rapid Transit Station - Greater Cleveland RTA
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) is soliciting public artists for submission of public art for the University Circle Rapid Transit Station. The station is one of the top four major transit hubs within the GCRTA public transit network. It serves 6-8 busy bus routes, is close to the HealthLine Bus Rapid Transit service, and is a major station on the RTA's Red Line running from East Cleveland to Cleveland Hopkins Airport. Given this amount of activity, the station is composed of several different elements all designed with a common architectural theme. The station is meant to be an iconic gateway to the Region, the City of Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, and into University Circle. Its proximity to historic Rockefeller and Ambler Park, Case Western Reserve University and a major urban arterial carrying 30,000 cars per day, combine to create a unique setting for this station.

Open Call for Entries for All Photographers: Black & White Photography
Open Call for Entries for All Photographers; Black & White Photography
“Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.” - Robert Frank
What does "black and white" mean to contemporary photographers in the digital age? When Robert Frank made this observation, black-and-white film and silver prints were photography's most commonly used materials. Nearly a half century later they are approaching "alternative media" status. Or are they? Are the implications and meanings of black and white still central to photography's unique nature as a visual medium?
Submissions to this juried exhibition are limited only by your imagination and your photographic eye. Portraits, fashion, editorial, landscapes, documentary, conceptual - all of these genres, and others not named, are open for consideration.
Prints should take whatever form they need to in order to represent the continuum of gray tones that comprise your photographs. Whether the initial recording was made on film or pixels is immaterial.

“Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.” - Robert Frank
What does "black and white" mean to contemporary photographers in the digital age? When Robert Frank made this observation, black-and-white film and silver prints were photography's most commonly used materials. Nearly a half century later they are approaching "alternative media" status. Or are they? Are the implications and meanings of black and white still central to photography's unique nature as a visual medium?
Submissions to this juried exhibition are limited only by your imagination and your photographic eye. Portraits, fashion, editorial, landscapes, documentary, conceptual - all of these genres, and others not named, are open for consideration.
Prints should take whatever form they need to in order to represent the continuum of gray tones that comprise your photographs. Whether the initial recording was made on film or pixels is immaterial. However, in the final assessment, prints will be judged on their merits. Qualities of form, content, and relation to traditions of black-and-white printing and visualization will be sought in the pool of submissions.
