About

Overview

The Cincinnati-based non-profit arts organization Manifest invites visual artists and designers to submit original works that employ, depict, or explore translucency and transparency.

Theme

Not all light is reflected or absorbed; light can be transmitted, scattering within and beyond objects or layers to reveal what is on the other side. Translucency and transparency refer to both non-opaque materials and concepts surrounding openness and honesty, to baring one's intentions and actions for another's understanding. Transparency opens communication: conveying not just what, but why and how.

Fees & Entries

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

Awards

Honorarium of $50 for each exhibiting artist
Grand Jury Award of $1,000 for one jury-selected work
