The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works which incorporate text or letter forms. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, including 2D, 3D, etc. Not long after humanity began drawing, drawings evolved into writing. Pictures became symbols, abstraction blossomed, and language became visual. Two branches, sharing one root, carried forward people's ideas, feelings, and plans. The visual and the verbal arts shared the role of encapsulating civilization's data. And they continue to do so today, in so many wondrous and varied ways. TEXTUALITY is an exhibit that inquires into the overlap of these two branches, seeking examples of where the verbal is made visual, where language returns into image. $45 for up to three entries. $5 per each additional entry. Includes honorarium of $50 for each exhibiting artist, and Grand Jury Award of $1,000 for one jury-selected work from among the exhibits on view.
