CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - LANDSCAPE, DRAWING, WRITING, and PRINTMAKING - Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center, Cincinnati, Ohio
TERRA FIRMA
An International Competitive Survey of Approaches to Landscape
Deadline October 3rd
Terra Firma will focus on interpretations of a theme not yet thoroughly explored by Manifest. Landscape can be so very widely interpreted and expressed. From the most observational depictions of geographic locations to conceptual or nearly abstract spaces, landscapes are generally considered works representing real or imagined ‘land’ or natural spaces. However, even larger scale architectural conceptions, or combinations of the natural and man-made are often categorized as such. Therefore, Manifest invites artists to submit contemporary works in any medium that explores the concept or subject of Landscape.

CONTEMPORARY PRINTMAKING
An international call for works of contemporary printmaking
Deadline November 7th
Like photography, printmaking is a genre of creative work that is underscored by its processes. Some artists are steadfast traditionalists, anchoring themselves in age-old technical methods. Others push the boundaries of the discipline, exploring just what constitutes ‘printmaking’. In this exhibit Manifest will call to artists to submit works of contemporary printmaking, and will strive to explore the range of methods and results currently being achieved within the bounds of such processes, including traditional and non-traditional approaches.

4th Annual INTERNATIONAL DRAWING ANNUAL
A Competitive Annual Publication of Works of Contemporary Drawing
and Writing About Drawing
Deadline December 31st
The International Drawing Annual is an extension of Manifest's Drawing Center activities. Its goal is to support the recognition, documentation, and publication of excellent, current, and relevant works of drawing from around the world. A natural question will be "what is drawing?" and that is exactly the question the Annual is meant to investigate from year to year. Furthermore the goal is to ask "what is exceptional drawing?" Therefore submissions are expected to vary, including a range of drawing types, from the most academic to the most experimental, but all with some relevance to the artists' honest understanding of the practice of "drawing."
With the inclusion of a call for writing about drawing Manifest eagerly pursues a deeper understanding of how drawing is realized, discussed, and interpreted in contemporary society. Works of writing will be selected to complement the artwork chosen for inclusion in the publication.
