MANIFEST EMERGES!
Help Create A Sanctuary for the Visual Arts
Join us in establishing the Manifest Center for the Visual Arts—a permanent space where artists, students, and the public connect through the power of art.
Manifest has grown from a grassroots idea into a vital cultural force for artists and audiences alike. Now, we’re taking a bold next step—transforming a historic building into our first permanent home. This space will secure our mission for generations, expand our programs, and amplify our impact.
OUR GOAL: $8 million
Manifest has come this far thanks to supporters like you—our next chapter depends on it. Your gift today helps create a new cultural institution for our city—a permanent home for Manifest, for artists around the world, and for you.

Phase One: In Progress
Because of strong early support, Manifest has been able to break ground on Phase One construction. With over 50% of our $8 million goal secured, this work is making the building watertight, expanding parking, addressing essential accessibility upgrades, and establishing the new Manifest Printmaking Wing. These improvements allow us to expand public programming right away.
Phase Two: The Finish Line
To fully realize the Manifest Center for the Visual Arts, we must now secure support for Phase Two with a very tight deadline. This final push will bring all Manifest programs under one roof, including establishing the permanent home for 'the Neighborhood Gallery for the World', a new Art Economy Lab, the Manifest Archives and Art Reference Library, not to mention replacing rapidly failing legacy heating and cooling systems and additional required accessibility upgrades—ensuring long-term sustainability, creative growth, and lasting community impact.
Your support now will help finish what we’ve started.

SUPPORT MANIFEST EMERGES!
Manifest is a community-supported 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
As
a community-minded 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization, founded
upon ideals formed both in academic pursuit and a commitment to quality
urban living, Manifest relies heavily on private donations to cover
operating costs. Since 2004 the Manifest board of directors has taken serious measures
to insure that Manifest is a low-cost/maximum benefit presence
in East Walnut
Hills, Clifton, and Greater Cincinnati, and a progressive influence on the
arts in our region and around the world. Our goal is to provide a context for
the study and experience of excellent visual art,
without
making
compromises
otherwise necessary in a commercial art-dealing gallery or larger organization. Through its rich programming Manifest brings the world to Cincinnati, and represents Cincinnati to the world, one work of art at a time, one studio experience at a time. Manifest starts with the artist and radiates outwards from there.
