Manifest Gallery - Master Pieces

 



Deadline to Submit: May 3, 2021

Open to current graduate students and MFA/MA degree recipients since January 2020



Exhibit Dates: July 9 - August 6, 2021

Every year Manifest offers an opportunity just for graduate students to exhibit at our gallery in Cincinnati. This 15th 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.

Art Prize 2021




ArtPrize® is an open, independently organized international art competition which takes place in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It celebrates artists working in all mediums from anywhere in the world, and is open to any creative with an artwork to enter and a venue willing to host it. 

For 18 days, art is exhibited throughout downtown Grand Rapids, in spaces indoors and out, public and private. ArtPrize awards $450,000 directly to artists, through grants (200k) to support their ambitious work and through prizes (250k) which the public decides through the ArtPrize mobile app. 

ArtPrize is remarkably open and collaborative by design. Museums, bars, public parks, restaurants, theaters, hotels, bridges, laundromats, auto body shops, vacant storefronts and office spaces sign up to be ArtPrize venues. Then artists and venues find each other on our website, creating the nearly 200 independently-organized art shows that make up the ArtPrize competition—and attracting visitors from all around the world. No one at ArtPrize selects a single artist or artwork, directs an artist where to show work or directs a venue what to show. Instead, you decide where to show your work.

Alumnus Event by Joshua Rashaad McFadden


Tuesday, April 13  |  7PM EST
Presented by SPE's LGBTQ+ Caucus

 

Joshua Rashaad McFadden's work aims to address the mass erasure of Black legacy in America. Empowered by the legacy of Frederick Douglass—who championed the power of the image and media representation— EVIDENCE gives back the voice and legacy of silenced individuals through powerful images, handwritten text of personal experiences, and a newspaper publication that delves deeper into the concept of varying masculine identities, especially within the LGBTQ community.
