The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works exploring engagement with landscape as condition, as the physical and perceptual space that holds human experience. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media. Landscape is not simply scenery. It is the space the Earth provides. It is ground beneath our feet and atmosphere above us. It is distance, scale, horizon, shelter, exposure, terrain, and boundary. It is the vast field in which life unfolds, shaped by forces geological and human alike. Landscape is where we test proportion and perspective. It is where we encounter scale beyond the self. It is where we recognize that our limits are bound to the limits of the ground we inhabit, and that as living parts of this sphere from which we emerged, our fates are inseparable from it.
