About
Overview
Manifest, a Cincinnati-based non-profit arts organization and gallery, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works that employ, depict, or explore translucency and transparency. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media.
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.
