The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works created by current and recent undergraduate students (includes graduates in 2025 or 2026). Open to any and all 2d and 3d traditional and non-traditional visual arts media, genre, subject matter, and content.

Every year through this exhibition Manifest surveys work by students and recent graduates of art and design programs, seeking to assemble, promote, and document examples of the excellence being achieved by new or emerging artists for Rites of Passage. This exhibit, season publication, and award(s) are intended to support that emergence. To date Manifest has exhibited student works representing over 257 different academic institutions!

$25 for one entry, $40 for two to four entries, and $5 per each additional 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.
