Transcendence: A Call for Works About Going Beyond the Normal

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists to submit works about going beyond the ordinary, for an upcoming exhibition November 8 - December 6, 2019. Consider work that addresses the idea of Transcendence as a subject, rather than an aspect of the ambition, dedication, and rigor of the artist themselves? How does visual art represent, either through subject, form, or content, a notion which, in some form or another, underlies much of human introspection and civilized activity since our earliest days as a species? Artists are encouraged to take a broadly creative view of the theme. This exhibit has no defined expectation for type or style of work. Submissions can range from the most traditional realism to the most conceptual, abstract, or experimental. $40 for up to 4 entries. $5 per each additional entry. Deadline: September 8, 2019.

Dark: Call for Works About Shadows, Nocturnes, Nightscapes, and Darkness

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists to submit works for an upcoming exhibition, November 8 - December 6, 2019. We close our eyes to the dark, are born out of it. So much hides within it, and disappears – even us. Under our beds, in the deepest of woods, past the furthest reaches of the Universe, there lurks the dark. It is the unknown, the opposite of light – the impossible paradoxical weight reciprocal to the speed of light itself. Darkness saturates existence, gifting the insight brought by contrast. Therefore, perhaps, it somehow serves as a source for happiness and even light itself. Artists are encouraged to take a broadly creative view of the theme. This includes any manner of interpretation, from literal to symbolic and philosophical. $40 for up to 4 entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry. Deadline: September 11, 2019. More info. Contact: email or call 513-861-3638.
