IMPRINT: Works of Contemporary Printmaking / Calls & Submissions

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works of printmaking, exploring the range of methods and results being achieved within the expansive bounds of these processes.

Printmaking is an important checkpoint along the road map between the most primitive early cave scrawlings and the ubiquitous photography in everyone’s pocket today. In many ways it is where the Arts meet the Humanities. As a creative discipline it represents the first awakening of the individual’s potential for gaining broad knowledge and wide dissemination of facts, personal opinion, and expression. With this, printmaking might just be the first true form of a ‘social media’.

Some artists are steadfast traditionalists, anchoring themselves in age-old technical methods. Others push the boundaries of the discipline, exploring just what constitutes ‘printmaking’. For this exhibit Manifest takes a fresh look at the media, and now makes it an ongoing commitment as a biennial exhibition.

$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.
