Call for Solo Exhibit Proposals for Manifest's 14th Season (2017/18)
Application Deadline June 1st, 2017
Submission fee: $50
Artists, designers, illustrators, and other creative makers are invited to submit complete proposals for consideration in Manifest's upcoming 14th exhibition season which opens in late September.
On average, one-third of Manifest's exhibits are dedicated to solo/proposed exhibits. Solo exhibitors have included local, regional, and national artists from as far away as New York, San Francisco, and Hong Kong. It is important to our non-profit program that each of our seasons of free public exhibits consist of a balanced mix of solo and group thematic projects. Our thematic group shows provide diversity of approach, media, style, and geographic origin, while solo exhibits provide a deeper insight into individual artists' vision.
Anyone can submit a proposal. Artists should bear in mind the need for a consistent and very strong body of work when submitting. Manifest is open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, embracing the wide scope of visual arts. Our program sets out to survey, exhibit, and document excellent quality amongst all types of art. Our record through thirteen seasons reveals the breadth of Manifest's reach across the spectrum of visual arts.
Cash Award Potential: A new annual Manifest Grand Jury Prize will result in the awarding of one significant cash prize ($2500) to a single work selected as the 'best of the entire season'. Winner will be determined by a final end-of-year jury from among a pool of all top-scoring works from each exhibit's jury process across the current exhibition season. This process will include solo exhibitors as well.
Submission deadline: June 1, 2017
