PAINTED 2025: International Competitive Biennial Survey of Contemporary Painting

Deadline: June 21, 2025

Artist Opportunity Type: Fair or Festival
Entry Fee: 45
Open to (any restrictions on entries): Open Internationally
Exhibition/Event Dates: September 26, 2025 - October 24, 2025
Event Location (City/Venue): Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center, 2727 Woodburn Avenue, Cincinnati, OH, 45206
Contact: info@manifestgallery.org
Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works of contemporary painting. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media.
At some point many generations ago society reached a level where ordinary people could spend a lifetime perfecting their ability to mix and apply paint, in extraordinary ways. A decade ago, to mark Manifest's 10th season the gallery kicked off a permanent biennial project surveying painting as an art form. It was first presented in fall 2013 to inaugurate our expanded gallery. PAINTED 2025 will be the seventh biennial presentation of this international survey of contemporary painting.
PAINTED joins Drawn as a recurring gallery exhibition designed to complement our ongoing triennial INDA and INPA (drawing and painting) publications. Every two years it launches our exhibition season by presenting a competitive group exhibition focused exclusively on painting.
PAINTED is a gallery exhibit that calls for works of painting by artists around the world as they carry the tradition forward, or reform it for another day. Submissions can range from the most traditional to the most conceptual, abstract, or experimental, including those which push the boundaries of the common definition of what constitutes ‘painting'.
$45 for up to three entries. $5 per each additional entry.
Includes honorarium of $50 for each exhibiting artist, and Grand Jury Award of $1,000 for one jury-selected work from among the exhibits on view.

AQUACHROME 2025: International Competitive Biennial Exhibit of Contemporary Watercolor*

Deadline: June 22, 2025

Artist Opportunity Type: Fair or Festival
Entry Fee: 45
Open to (any restrictions on entries): Open Internationally
Exhibition/Event Dates: September 26, 2025 - October 24, 2025
Event Location (City/Venue): Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center, 2727 Woodburn Avenue, Cincinnati, OH, 45206
Contact: info@manifestgallery.org
Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works of contemporary watercolor. Open to all traditional and non-traditional approaches to the medium. *Watercolor, gouache, ink wash, tempera, and other similar painting media are all eligible. Submissions can range from the most traditional to the most conceptual or experimental.
Quite possibly the oldest form of painting, watercolor persists today, defying narrow categorization and broad stereotype. Practiced for centuries in concept development preliminary to finished paintings made in oil or other scale-worthy durable media, watercolor also found favor with botanists, illustrators, and portraitists, and was applied to varied and countless surfaces.
The nature of the media itself represents a delicate and dictatorial transparency, fluidity, and a potential for expressive spontaneity. This not only makes it an ideal vehicle for visual art, but also one of training, intensity, philosophy, and play for any who practice it. Where an artist can easily dominate other painting media, forcing a will through viscous layers into a work of art like taming a wild horse, with watercolor there is dialog, compromise, and undeniable forthrightness. In this way the artist practicing watercolor works with a tiger in the room.
$45 for up to three entries. $5 per each additional entry.
Includes honorarium of $50 for each exhibiting artist, and Grand Jury Award of $1,000 for one jury-selected work from among the exhibits on view.

Don't Hold Still: Life Drawing Through Ideas of Bodily Movement A 3-day Intensive Workshop with Randy Melick

Deadline: June 26, 2025

Artist Opportunity Type: Workshop
Entry Fee: $560
Open to (any restrictions on entries): All.
Exhibition/Event Dates:June 27-29, 2025
Event Location (City/Venue): Manifest Drawing Center, 3464 Central Parkway, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45223
Contact: Kevin Leigh-Manuell, kevin@manifestvisualarts.org
Additional Information: This life drawing workshop redefines the practice of “working from the model” by shifting the focus from replicating appearance to seeing the figure through the language of drawing itself. Rather than striving to make drawings look more like figures, participants will explore how figures come into focus by looking more like drawings. Through careful study of select figure drawings and guided exercises, artists will engage with alternative ways of seeing natural forms—modes that even contemporary figurative artists have largely overlooked. This approach places the idea of natural movement at the center of life drawing, allowing participants to break away from rigid, lens-based observation. Artists will learn to recognize the unique qualities of life drawings that prioritize bodily movement over photographic accuracy, construct drawings through comparison rather than direct transcription, and convey the position and direction of the body’s major masses. By embracing this dynamic method, participants will “choreograph” their drawings, allowing each major form to move along its own trajectory, resulting in expressive and compelling figure studies.
About the instructor:
Randy Melick is an accomplished artist and educator specializing in figure drawing and artistic anatomy. With over 35 years of experience teaching life drawing at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, he has instructed students at numerous institutions including the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts where he was the Deane G. Keller Endowed Chair of Classical Drawing and Figurative Art, and Chair of the Drawing Department. Melick's drawings have been exhibited in prominent galleries and venues around the world, including in Paris, New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Cincinnati. His extensive teaching background and artistic practice have established him as a respected figure in the field of figure drawing. Randy currently lives and works in Michigan.

Personal Color: Painting the Figure with a Mixing Matrix

Deadline: July 24, 2025

Artist Opportunity Type: Workshop
Entry Fee: $580all
Exhibition/Event Dates: 7/25-27
Event Location (City/Venue): 3464 Central Parkway, Cincinnati , Ohio, 45223
Contact:kevin@manifestvisualarts.org
Additional Information:This immersive three-day workshop invites artists to explore the expressive potential of figure painting beyond traditional representation. Through guided exercises, engaging slide lectures, and focused critique sessions, participants will examine how a painted figure can communicate meaning that extends beyond physical likeness or identity. The figure will be considered through a range of imaginative lenses: as loosely-bound stardust, a structure of dynamic volumes, a presence interacting with its environment, and a metaphor open to interpretation.
Participants will build their own artistic voice by developing and mastering a personalized limited palette. Using a structured color-mixing matrix, you will complete a series of small-scale paintings from live models, emphasizing the dynamic relationship between color, form, and mark-making. The workshop will also explore the concept of “resolution” in figurative painting—what it means and how to achieve it through a range of technical and conceptual approaches.
Neil Callander is a painter and educator originally from Louisville, Kentucky. He earned his BFA from Indiana University in 2003 and his MFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University in 2006. In 2005, he was awarded a full fellowship to attend the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. After graduate school, he worked as a painter in Jeff Koons' New York studio.
In 2007, Neil and his family left New York City to pursue careers in the arts and academia, a move that led them on a journey through the American South, with time spent in Louisville, Kentucky; Starkville, Mississippi; and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Today, Neil and his wife, Adrienne, are both tenured professors of art at the University of Arkansas. They live in Fayetteville on a three-acre homestead shared with their children, dogs, and sheep.
Neil’s work has been exhibited extensively across the U.S., including solo exhibitions at Goose Barnacle (Brooklyn, NY), Studio Break Gallery (West Chicago, IL), Bowling Green State University (OH), Manifest Gallery and Drawing Center (Cincinnati, OH), Elon University (NC), and the Kentucky School of Art (Louisville, KY). His group exhibitions include shows at Manifest Gallery, the Huntsville Museum of Art (AL), the Mississippi Museum of Art (Jackson), the New Gallery of Modern Art (Charlotte, NC), First Street Gallery (NYC), and the Washington Art Association (CT), among others.
He has lectured on his work at numerous institutions, including Boston University, UMass Dartmouth, Arkansas State University, and the University of Mississippi. Neil is a member of ZEUXIS, a New York-based still life painting collective, and regularly attends conferences held by SECAC (Southeastern College Art Conference).
Most recently, Neil has been involved with Art Week at the historic home of painter Fairfield Porter on Great Spruce Head Island in Maine. He participated in the program in 2022 and returned in 2024 and 2025 to lead a painting retreat he developed.

Founded in 1909, Louisville Visual Art (LVA) nurtures our city's diverse artists throughout their creative lifecycles with youth art education, professional artist development, and art in public spaces. Since 1925, we've inspired future generations of creative leaders through Children's Fine Art Classes (CFAC). Our outreach programs span the Louisville Metro, enriching diverse communities. From our creative hub in the Portland neighborhood, we encourage artists through the Artists Talk with LVA radio show, Curate Purchase Inspire (CPI), Open Studio Weekend, and weekly calls for artists.
