All serious emerging or established artists working in any media or genre are invited to submit complete applications to Manifest's Artist Residency program (MAR). The MAR is a one-year residency providing free 24/7 use of a private studio adjacent to Manifest Gallery, consideration for paid teaching within Manifest Drawing Center program, regular public exposure of artwork and studio during Manifest exhibit receptions to thousands of visitors across the year, and much more.
The goals of the Residency include providing an ideal space for the creation of new work, to greatly increase the likelihood of future success for the resident artist, create a supportive environment for development as a teaching artist, and to offer the opportunity to develop drawing or other art-making skills relative to the consistent availability of life drawing models, (applicants are NOT required to be figurative artists). Applications will be reviewed on a competitive basis.
