Manifest is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit founded on Woodburn Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2004 by professors and students from area universities seeking to make a positive community impact. Manifest continues to be operated by professors, students, and working artists to this day. Our programming is divided into four balanced quadrants:
Gallery (exhibitions), Press (publications), Artist Residency (support), and Drawing Center (education). The first three programs are housed on Woodburn Avenue. The Drawing Center Studio, located about four miles away on Central Parkway in nearby Clifton houses the fourth in what will ultimately become The Manifest Center for the Visual Arts after a planned major renovation. Manifest’s operations are funded by a mix of artist-supported revenue, state funding from the Ohio Arts Council, grants from local and national foundations, a growing and incredibly important supporting annual membership, and donations from individuals like you.

Furthermore, sales of our annual publications help fund Manifest’s educational work.
