Call for Artists/Exhibitions:
TOTALLY OPEN: An International Open-Theme Exhibit Opportunity
Deadline: December 22, 2024
Artist Opportunity Type: Exhibition
Entry Fee: $10 per each entry.
Open to (any restrictions on entries): Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media. Open Internationally.
Exhibition/Event Dates: March 7 - April 4, 2025
Event Location (City/Venue): Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center, 2727 Woodburn Avenue, Cincinnati, OH, 45206
Contact: Jason Franz, [email protected]
Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works of art with no specific theme. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, including 2D, 3D, etc.
Manifest is known for its thoughtful thematic approaches to exhibitions. When we put out a call for works with a subject in mind, the resulting show serves as a survey of contemporary art made about that certain idea. The subjects span geographies, emotions, methods, ideas. Through our over 500 exhibit history Manifest has produced shows exploring hundreds of unique themes. And each work, each theme, has been documented through our exhibition catalogs and award-winning publications. The next creative experiment we want to run is this: reverse the process and host an open call, then discover the theme (or multiple themes) through the curatorial process, and not before. With an eye still fixed on finding and showcasing exceptional quality visual art, we want to give the artists a chance to steer the epiphanies that a TOTALLY OPEN call will yield.
$10 per each 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.

qualifications from established professional artists or artist teams seeking to win the commission to create two wall-mounted artworks for the Temple’s sanctuary in Louisville, KY, as part of renovations taking place in summer 2024. These artworks will depict subjects, themes, and/or events related to the heritage and practice of Judaism.
The Committee and Donor are interested in contemporary and/or traditional styles, and will not consider entirely non-objective or highly abstract work. There will be a narrative or referential component to the artworks. We are open to any medium, but the work must be two-dimensional or low relief (no thicker than 10”).

areas that are 36’6” X 16’. After reviewing the Qualifications submitted in response to this call, the Committee will notify 3
finalists who will be asked to submit specific proposals. Finalists will receive a stipend to cover costs of preparing their proposals.
Finalists will present their proposals to the Committee and the Donor in person, if possible. The format for presentations of proposed artworks may be digital or physical or both, but the
presentations must provide the review panel a clear visualization of the works as they will appear in the sanctuary. The Committee will provide renderings of the planned interior renovations to aid in this process.
It is important for applicants to understand that finalization of the artwork’s design will progress in collaboration with the Committee, the Donor, and The Temple Rabbi David Ariel-Joel.
Qualified applicants must submit
1. A complete Curriculum Vita (CV) that includes a full list of commissions and exhibitions.

(roughly 30’ X 12’), and clearly depict the artist(s) experience creating two-dimensional and/or low relief artworks in a representational style with narrative content. Strong portfolios will also show completed works in their permanent installation locations.
File Formats: CV and letter must be in PDF format. Images should be .jpg or .png format, 300 dpi, and between 1200 and 2400 pixels in the LONGEST DIMENSION. Image files should be no larger than 5MB each. Qualifications should be sent to: [email protected]
