Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center celebrated a decade of its artist residency program by introducing recipients of its 10th Manifest Artist Residency Awards, Ed Erdmann and Shelby Shadwell, plus the appointment of Hanna Sosin to the Manifest Scholar in Residence program.
Manifest received applications this year from Wyoming, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, South Carolina and Colorado. Several of these states were represented by multiple applications. A multi-person panel reviewed each application through several rounds, including interviews of semi-finalists by staff and Manifest’s board of directors.

ABOUT THE MANIFEST ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM (MAR)
Each year the program awards one or two artists free 24/7 use of a 500 sq. ft. north-lit studio adjacent to Manifest Gallery in the Victoria Building on Woodburn Avenue in East Walnut Hills for the period of one year at no cost. Each artist also receives free access to Manifest’s Drawing Center life drawing sessions and darkroom, and the opportunity to create and teach courses at the center. During every exhibition preview reception and public opening held at Manifest Gallery the residency space is open for visits as an invitation for the public to meet the resident artists and see their work as it progresses over the course of the year.
ABOUT THE SCHOLAR IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM (SIR)
The SIR shares most of the same purposes and benefits of the MAR, with an exception being that it focuses primarily on scholarship and research aspects of the artist’s development and less on working towards an exhibition and body of work. While the MAR’s homebase is adjacent to Manifest’s galleries, the SIR’s homebase is at the Manifest Drawing Center.
