IMPRINT: An International Competitive Call for Printmaking
MANIFEST presents IMPRINT, an open international call to artists to submit works of printmaking. Manifest will strive to explore the range of methods and results currently being achieved within the bounds of such processes. This exhibit has no predefined expectation for type, or theme to be considered or selected. Submissions can range from the most traditional to most experimental. Works must feature printmaking as their primary media.
Like photography, printmaking is a genre of creative work that is underscored by its processes. Some artists are steadfast traditionalists, anchoring themselves in age-old technical methods. Others push the boundaries of the discipline, exploring just what constitutes ‘printmaking’. For this exhibit Manifest takes a fresh look at the media last featured in season 10. IMPRINT calls to artists to submit works of printmaking, and will strive to explore the range of methods and results currently being achieved within the bounds of such processes.
This exhibit has no predefined expectation for type or style of work to be considered or selected. Submissions can range from the most traditional to the most conceptual or experimental. The only criteria beyond excellent quality is that works must feature printmaking as their primary media.
ELIGIBILITY
IMPRINT is open to everyone. Professionals as well as students are encouraged to enter. The only limitation is that entries must represent original works which feature printmaking as their primary media.
MEDIA
Open to any and all traditional and non-traditional approaches to printmaking.
Manifest's carefully assembled juries change from project to project, and have no collective predisposition towards any particular kind or style of art.
ANNUAL CASH AWARD
A new annual Manifest Grand Jury Prize will result in the awarding of one significant cash prize ($2500) to a single work selected as the 'best of the entire season'. Winner will be determined by a final end-of-year jury from among a pool of all top-scoring works from each exhibit's jury process across the current exhibition season. This process will apply to exhibits from the start of our 14th season on September 29, 2017, and applies to each exhibit through August, 2018, including this one. Details on the Manifest Grand Jury Prize can be found here.
