Manifest is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit founded and operated by artists for artists, and by professors and students for professors and students, now at the start of its third decade. Since its launch in 2004 Manifest's exhibits and publications have featured over 11,000 works by more than 4,500 artists. Our organization has provided considerable support to working artists through all four aspects of its programming, and this continues to evolve every year. This is made possible largely by individual donations small and large from across the country and beyond to our Annual Fund. |

About the Manifest Jury Process The Manifest jury process is conducted by a rotating peer group panel of volunteers who are artists, arts professionals, Manifest alumni, and previous award recipients from around the country. Panel makeup changes from exhibit to exhibit in order to promote diversity in the types of work shown in the gallery. The process is always conducted as a blind jury where only the work in question is judged, not individuals. LEARN MORE... |
