grown in reputation and participation over time. The award is tangible
proof that Manifest is fulfilling its mission to reach out to a global
audience from our small headquarters in East Walnut Hills in Cincinnati, to
stand for something that artists appreciate and the public respects, and to
honor the creative work of so many separate people all connected by their
participation in our projects.This award and this project would not be possible without the support of
Manifest’s generous donors and supporting members, ArtsWave, and The Ohio
Arts Council.
