About
Overview
Manifest, a Cincinnati-based non-profit arts organization and gallery, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works about reactions and responses. Things happen—good and bad, large and small—and our responses shape the major arcs of our lives. A counterform is a shape defined by what surrounds it. COUNTERFORM seeks work about reactions: the response to feedback, the flinch when a nerve is struck, the form a thing takes because of what pressed against it.
Eligibility & Media
Open to all. Traditional and non-traditional genre and media welcome.
