Master Pieces: 20th International Call for Works by Current or Recent MFA/MA Graduate Students / Calls & Submissions
Deadline
March 28, 2026
Organization Name: Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center
Organization Location: Cincinnati, OH
Type: Calls & Submissions
Fee: $25+
The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites current visual art and design graduate students and MFA/MA degree recipients since January 2025 to submit works of art in any media, genre, subject matter, or content, traditional and non-traditional.
Every year Manifest offers an opportunity just for graduate students to exhibit at our gallery in Cincinnati. This 20th installment of the Master Pieces project will continue to reveal the intensity and professionalism of students working towards their terminal academic degree in the field of art or design. Often the most exceptional work comes out of these artists’ immersion in their culture of study and intellectual pursuit. Manifest’s goal, therefore, is to select works that set the standard of quality that the artist is expected to maintain throughout his or her professional career and justify the degree of Master.
Includes exhibitor honorarium of $50 for each exhibiting artist, and new Grand Jury Award of $1,000 for one jury-selected work from among the exhibits on view.
