‘Kindred,’ a one-weekend-only Savannah installation
“Kindred” is a temporary exhibition that will mix the simpatico styles
of four artists who have somewhat different perspectives on similar
themes. Their work is unapologetically romantic in the classical sense
and infused with mystery, poetry, and a generous helping of the surreal.
The exhibition is also an installation that mixes one artist’s work
with the other and will include sculptural elements, sounds, and
atmospheric aromas.
What: “Kindred” featuring work by Tobia Makover, Lori Vrba, Sal Taylor Kydd, Dawn Surratt
When: Reception 6:30-8:30 p.m. April 26
Where: 2818 Bee Road
Artist talk (with all four artists present) will be Saturday, April 27th 3p.m. Rebecca Nolan is moderator.

Friday April 19th

10:30am-12noon Money Talks: Managing Credit For Thriving Artists

“brown, carmine, and blue is a love letter to myself.”
A reflection of the artist's undying quest to break down power constructs that have continuously ostracized the very things that she identifies with: blackness, queerness, and femininity. The artist is concerned with the spectacle that has ensued as a reaction to black joy and black trauma, simultaneously, and how this has further created generalizations of what blackness truly is.
Through performance, video, and installation, the artists further dissects themes surrounding displacement, racially induced trauma, and the toll these things take on one’s mental capacity.
“How are we able to let go? How can we let go of the pain, the weight, and the anger that is caused by trauma?”
brown, carmine, and blue. is a direct answer to those very questions that have continuously been brought up in conversation surrounding black identity.
LeSeur was the recipient of the 2018 Time-Based Category Award and Juried Grand Prize at Artprize 10 in Grand Rapids, MI for her piece, “brown, carmine, and blue”. She was the most recent recipient of the SCAD40 prize at SCAD’s deFINE ART festival in 2019. Her recent lectures include SCAD, the RISD Museum of Art, and The Brooklyn Museum with Marilyn Minter in conjunction with The Tory Burch Foundation. Her recent residencies include NARS Foundation and Marble House Project. Outside of creating her own work, LeSeur has made notable contributions to the arts through her active participation in curating exhibitions and workshops for women of color that speak to the power in existing through expression in a world that shuns black women for these exact actions.

Alum Success : Ann Jastrab
Graduate Student Opportunity
Open to current graduate students and MFA/MA degree recipients since January 2018.
Every year Manifest offers an opportunity just for graduate
students to exhibit at our gallery in Cincinnati. This 13th installment
of the Master Pieces project will continue to reveal the intensity and
professionalism of students working towards their terminal academic
degree in the field of art or design. Often the most exceptional
work comes out of these artists’ immersion in their culture of study and
intellectual pursuit. Manifest’s goal, therefore, is to select works
that set the standard of quality that the artist is expected to maintain
throughout his or her professional career and justify the degree
of Master. The full-color hardcover Manifest Exhibition
Annual publication, a ‘yearbook’ for the season, will serve as a visual
documentation of these artists’ own benchmarks for years to come.
Deadline: 05/03/2019

HUMAN REPRESENTATION – PORTRAIT
HUMAN REPRESENTATION – PORTRAIT
Midwest Center for Photography
Witchita, Kansas
The act of capturing a moment in time through taking a photograph of someone is one of the highest gestures that a person can give.

Documenting the likeness of these people as well as capturing the pure personality of a person through a range of emotional gestures is a phenomenal experience. This exhibition seeks to represent the human likeness in all of its forms, whether it is a documentary approach, a snapshot genre, if it is a fashion statement, an editorial statement, or simply a straight forward compositional body study, we are interested to exhibit the photographs of a wide range of people.
Each photograph will be considered based upon the merit of individual images submitted by each artist. Theme based entries are not necessary. Selected artists will have their work featured in the exhibition and online.

THE GAME
Group Exhibition in Rome, Italy. August 2019
FREE ENTRY Artists are invited to submit 1 to 3 artworks addressing the theme
Accepted media: Photography, Digital Graphic, Visual Data
Since ancient times the concept of "game" has been taken on by countless philosophers, artists and writers, pouring into it a philosophical and conceptual value, as demonstrated by the writings of Aristotle, as well as those of Schiller, Kant and Huizinga.
Kant takes up the founding element of freedom in the game and associates it with the aesthetics where the judgment of taste is based on the "free play of our cognitive faculties" of the imagination and the intellect. Or again, Johan Huizinga can be considered as one of the major theoreticians of the game, the theme at the center of his work is Homo Ludens, which assigns to the play activity of man the driving force of art and science.
No less are the authors of the art world who bear witness to the interest in the subject.
Artists, photographers and visual designers are invited to propose works that address the theme of the game in a new perspective, which reconsiders the theme through aspects that mark the contemporary: globalization, new interactive media, gambling addiction, etc.
Deadline 7th May 2019 │SUBMIT HERE

Theme: ‘Lost at Sea’ curated by Michael Behlen (Founder of Analog Forever Magazine)
Behlen says, “Our constant bombardment by all things electronic has left us marooned on an island made up of likes, shares, website metrics. This new life our society lives often seems like one lost at sea. As photographers, we don’t need rescuing or an s.o.s. signal. We have developed a way to connect ourselves to our surroundings which allows us to see past these feelings of isolation by using our camera lens.
For this exhibition, we are looking to see the places, people, activities, and things that help you escape from the daily hustle and allow you to live peacefully on your own personal island. The images submitted can be of, or represent, the things that make you feel alive. No interpretation of this theme is wrong. After all, we are all trying to survive our modern lives marooned in a sea of hyperconnectivity.”

Intentional Spaces
Juror: Laura Moya
Deadline: Monday, April 29, 2019
Exhibition prints due June 6, 2019
Gallery exhibition June 20 - July 13, 2019
Humans
create spaces to serve many purposes: to make us feel safe, comforted,
fearful, humbled, awestruck, or inspired. The space may be a cozy
reading nook in the corner, the inspirational size of a vast public
building, the cold impersonality of an examination room, a garden room
walled by a riot of plants, or a space that exists only in your
imagination. We respond in some emotional way to all of them.
For this exhibition, we seek images of spaces that evoke an emotional response. All capture methods and processes are welcome.
We
are very pleased that Laura Moya will jury and curate this exhibition.
She will select approximately 35 images for the Gallery Exhibition, and
35 for our Online Gallery. The recipients of the Juror's Award and the
Director's Award will each be entitled to a personal portfolio review by
Ms. Moya.
