11th Annual Magnitude 7’ International Call for Small Works

International Deadline: April 13, 2015 – Highly regarded Manifest Creative Research Gallery announces ’11th Annual Magnitude Seven’, an international call for small works.

Each iteration of the project brings in hundreds of powerful yet diminutive works for our jury to consider. Inevitably we end up with a gallery full of diverse, compelling, and exquisite little gems. Manifest’s patrons eagerly await the Magnitude SEVEN event each year. This annual project is one of the most light-hearted, fun, and varied exhibits in our season. So we are always excited to offer this call to artists to submit works no larger than seven inches in any dimension (any proportion).

Standard presentation devices like mats and frames that are not considered part of the work of art are not limited by the 7″ criteria.

ELIGIBILITY
Magnitude SEVEN is open to everyone. Professionals as well as students are encouraged to enter. The only limitation is that entries must represent original works of art that are 7″ or smaller.

MEDIA
Open to any and all traditional and non-traditional visual arts media, genre, subject matter, and content. The only limiting factor is size. There is no other thematic guideline.

Manifest’s carefully assembled juries change from project to project, and as a body have no collective predisposition towards any particular kind or style of art.

JURY AND CURATOR
Manifest’s selection process involves a complex two-part system. This exhibit will be juried by an anonymous 5-9 member panel of professional and academic advisors with a broad range of expertise relative to art and design. The jury will then pass along their recommendations to the exhibit curator who will make the final selections from the jury-approved pool.

PUBLICATION
Manifest Press will produce a high quality hard-cover publication documenting this exhibition, artists, and works shown, along the other new season exhibitions. This continues Manifest’s commitment to documentation and dissemination of our projects, and the expansion of physical exhibits into a broader geography and time-frame.

ENTRY FEE
$36 for up to three entries submitted. $10 per each additional entry. Number of entries is unlimited.

INSURANCE
Works will be insured while on gallery premises.

SALE OF ARTWORK
All work, unless indicated as not for sale (NFS), will be available for sale during exhibit. Manifest Gallery will retain a commission of 30% of the sale price on all artwork sold during the exhibition.
