By Spraygraphic | May 14, 2008
RITES OF PASSAGE
A glimpse into the world of national emerging artists.
Conceived and initiated in 2005, The Rites of Passage exhibits were developed in order to support student excellence by offering a public venue for the display of advanced ‘creative research’; to promote young artists as they transition into their professional careers; and to bring the positive creative energies of national institutions together in one place - Cincinnati.
With this fourth annual installment of the Rites series, Manifest now offers a $300 best of show award to encourage and support excellence at this career level. Over 360 submissions were received from 47 students from 25 colleges around the United States. The final selection includes 22 exceptional works by eleven artists from nine college programs.
