黑料不打烊

In 17 seasons Manifest's projects have included works by artists representing 50 states and 43 countries. Beginning in our tenth season, we launched an ongoing series of exhibits focusing on works by artists in our three-state region. Six years ago we added projects that also focused on other definable regions outside our own. These Regional Showcases were offered to complement the very wide geographical makeup of most Manifest exhibits with a closer look at art being made here in our own backyard, as well as provide a platform from which we can examine the trends, qualities, and idiosyncrasies of contemporary art within specific geographical areas and compare them to our own. 

This exhibit had no specific requirement for type, media, or style of work to be submitted. This was an open call. Submissions ranged widely from traditional to very conceptual, abstract, and experimental work. Jury selections were made based on the overall quality of the works submitted. For this exhibit 120 artists submitted 495 works from Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Fourteen works by the following 11 artists from our three-state region (3 from Indiana, 3 from Kentucky, and 5 from Ohio) were selected by a blind jury process for presentation in the gallery and the Manifest Exhibition Annual publication.
