Manifest will be hosting a spring open house at the Manifest Drawing Center's Central Parkway campus to welcome friends and neighbors from across Greater Cincinnati and beyond. With a special focus on the work of our Studio Seminar participants, and much more, this season’s Open House will be a unique chance to meet many of the people benefiting from our organization’s expansion into the Manifest Center for the Visual Arts. Additionally, guests will learn about current programming now active at the Center, discover more about upcoming classes and workshops, and learn about the organization’s mission and vision for its historic property.

Today, Tomorrow, and the Future We Dream
As of mid-2022, Manifest’s Drawing Center has settled into its new permanent Central Parkway location (M1) in Cincinnati, Ohio. All the 20-year-old nonprofit's studio programs, including many new ones, are now active daily and expanding! The Center’s role as an alternative for visual arts practice and study, and as a haven for those before, between, or after academic study, has been celebrated across the region for the past two decades, attracting participants of all ages and all walks of life from near and far. It complements Manifest's exhibition program at the gallery which was designed at its founding with equity as a core tenant. Both programs reach an incredibly wide diversity of participants, naturally, organically, and in sync with Manifest's mission to support visual literacy, critical thinking, and skill development while promoting the importance of excellence in visual arts. Current programs include the Center’s flagship weekly Open non-instructed offerings such as Open Figure Drawing four days a week (including a clothed Sunday morning portrait session); Open Darkroom six times a week; and free STUDY HALL (open creative research studio times,) all serving the creative public, students of art and design, and working artists from the wider Greater Cincinnati region and beyond. Professionally instructed programs include the ongoing classes: Drawing Essentials: The Figure Series (drawing classes focusing on the human form as subject), The Studio Seminar, and the popular Drawing as Mindfulness, as well as private lessons on a case-by-case basis. Special visiting artist workshops occur at intervals across the year, with the next two being led by Asheville, NC-based artist educator Christina Weaver (April) and Asheville, NC-based artist Reuben Negrón (June). There is a reason why artists visiting from across the U.S. routinely tell us there is nothing quite like Manifest elsewhere. Come see why!
