ILLUSTRATED: International Call for Works that Explain, Clarify, Illuminate, or Communicate
The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works of art (or design, or illustration) that depict, represent, explain, clarify, relate, illuminate, detail, or communicate.
Visual work is sometimes tasked with answering questions rather than raising them, with conveying information rather than emotion—think of technical manuals explaining which-part-goes-where, books full of images that work in union with text to tell a story (or tell a story without any text at all), advertisements where images are calibrated, targeted, to market products to you, courtroom drawings, maps, and so much more.
ILLUSTRATED is a call for works of art (or design, or illustration) that depict, represent, explain, clarify, relate, illuminate, detail, or communicate. This may most certainly include works that are not 'pure' illustration, but which reflect on or reference the above ideas and the role of the visual in similar ways.
