One 16: The Winner of the 16th Annual Manifest Prize
A decade ago our board of directors doubled the Manifest Prize to $5,000. This year the prize was doubled again, to $10,000. These decisions underscore our non-profit organization's desire to reward, showcase, celebrate, and document exceptional artwork being made today by working artists, and to do this in a tasteful non-commercial public context. Manifest's mission is centered on championing the importance of quality in visual art, supporting and encouraging artists at all levels from all backgrounds. This annual award is one aspect of the realization of that mission.
We respect the creative principle of reduction—the blind jury process—as it is employed to achieve an essential conclusive statement for each exhibit we produce. This is what has led to the high caliber of each Manifest exhibit, and to the gallery's notable following. We believe competition inspires excellence. Therefore we determined over a decade ago to launch the Manifest Prize in order to push the process to the ultimate limit—from among many to select just ONE work.
