WILDERNESS: An International Call for Works Exploring the Beyond NEW
Deadline: November 11, 2021
Entry Fee: $40 for up to FOUR entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry.
Open to: Open Internationally
Exhibition Dates: January 21 - February 18, 2022
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Contact: Jason Franz, info@manifestgallery.org
Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works that explore the space beyond human inhabitance, what we call Wilderness. This exhibit has no defined expectation for type, media, or style of work to be considered or selected.
The wilderness is a place where we are not. Cities, farms, and neighborhoods grow with or through some kind of cultivation of nature—but there are places that we have not, cannot, maybe should not bring to heel. Wilderness is where the landscape remains bigger than us, primal, and virgin. The wilderness is where our surroundings are still mysterious and powerful—the wilderness is where we can still manage to disappear.
What kind of powerful, dangerous, and uncontrolled places remain?
ANNUAL CASH AWARD: The annual Manifest Grand Jury Prize will result in the awarding of one significant cash prize ($5000) to a single work selected as the 'best of the entire season’.

RURAL: An International Call for Works Exploring the Countryside NEW
Deadline: November 12, 2021
Entry Fee: $40 for up to FOUR entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry.
Open to: Open Internationally
Exhibition Dates: January 21 - February 18, 2022
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Contact: Jason Franz, info@manifestgallery.org
Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works that are about or depict the Rural countryside. This exhibit has no defined expectation for type, media, or style of work to be considered or selected.
Living in the “countryside” is often framed, maybe romanticized, as a lifestyle more in touch with the land, historically because the settlements around it are supported by its cultivation. (How have the economics of rural living changed?) People here live more distantly, and accordingly develop different kinds of family and networks to relate. Distance creates new customs—conventionally a sense of independence and self-reliance. (What do we rely on rural communities for? What do rural communities rely on?) The landscape is a little more uninhabited, but it is still well-mapped and divided. What does a rural home look like? A rural school? A rural place of worship? A rural life? A rural philosophy?
Where does 'rural' begin and end?

SUBURBAN: An International Call for Works Exploring Suburbia NEW
Deadline: November 13, 2021
Entry Fee: $40 for up to FOUR entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry.
Open to: Open Internationally
Exhibition Dates: January 21 - February 18, 2022
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Contact: Jason Franz, info@manifestgallery.org
Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works that explore Suburbia. This exhibit has no defined expectation for type, media, or style of work to be considered or selected.
The suburbs encircle and bloom out from a city. Think of it like a circulatory system where cars, buses, and trains flow into a heart along highways and bridges, then are pumped back out in the evenings, past grocery stores and strip-malls and finally through the snaking, branching streets, ending in cul-de-sacs. It is the classic habitat of the "American Dream"; its markers, its symbols, are specific—lawn mowers, garages, apartment complex pools maybe, streets named for trees, communities named for forests or orchards they may or may not have supplanted, frames for unfinished houses—even if their particular aesthetics have changed.
What attracts us to this very in-between space, where you have neighbors to wave at, kids to play with, a job to drive to, and clearly drawn property lines?
Is this American Dream of suburbia just a pretty package for divide and conquer—a new opiate for the masses—not just limited to "America"? Or is it the natural evolution of a much more complex and perhaps even beautiful organism we cannot fully perceive but for which we all play a critical role—the outer fringes of an outstretched body of humanity?

URBAN: An International Call for Works About the City, or City Life NEW
Deadline: November 14, 2021
Entry Fee: $40 for up to FOUR entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry.
Open to: Open Internationally
Exhibition Dates: January 21 - February 18, 2022
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Contact: Jason Franz, info@manifestgallery.org
Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works that depict or reference the City, or City Life. This exhibit has no defined expectation for type, media, or style of work to be considered or selected.
Cities grow, out and up. Mostly up. Cities are built new on top of old, old converted to new, sometimes for hundreds of years. The oldest cities may be whole civilizations deep. This density is its own kind of wilderness, though one made of bricks and concrete, rather than trees. Opportunities draw us to cities, and the connectivity they allow for often keeps us there. The concentration of human life—of shifting architectural design, of streets, of neighborhoods, of food, of languages and accents, of the spaces behind and between buildings, of the culture that thrives on deep talent pools—all of this creates distinct identities for each of our cities.
What does it look like to have so much of human civilization concentrated on one spot? How does the City shape culture, everyday life, and the art of our time?

Open to: Open Internationally
Exhibition Dates: January 21 - February 18, 2022
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Contact: Jason Franz, info@manifestgallery.org
Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works that explore the concept of POST-URBAN, or What’s Next. This exhibit has no defined expectation for type, media, or style of work to be considered or selected.
What is going to change?
Our planet is changing, and our policies, economics, interactions both on-and-off line, all of that will have to follow suit. How will our homes and lifestyles adapt? Is the future utopian, full of high-speed rails and sleek buildings? Will we bury one another under a new layer of history? How densely can we live? How separated can we be? Will our coastlines be swallowed up, and fires eat the wilds and neighborhoods alike? Will we migrate? To where? Can we stop it? How?
What would that look like? How do creative ideas and expressions help resolve today's approaches to this future for the better?
