THE SWEEP OF TIME: Beyond the Horizon

Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: Manifest Research Gallery and Drawing Center
Deadline: Sun, June 28th, 2026

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original lens-based works that explore the orientation of time. Open to all traditional and non-traditional photographic and light-based genre and media.

 

How does the photographic moment relate to what persists—in time, in meaning, in us?

Photography holds two things at once: the instant, and what endures beyond it.

Marcus Aurelius wrote of contemplating "the sweep of time" as a way to ease the weight of present concerns—to find orientation not in the turbulence of the moment, but in the longer arcs of history, memory, and continuity. The Sweep of Time: Beyond the Horizon takes that idea as its premise and invites lens-based artists to explore it.

Artists are invited to submit lens-based work that engages:

Time as subject, symbol, or environment The horizon as literal landscape or conceptual threshold Distance, duration, memory, or continuity

 

This exhibit is supported by FotoFocus as a participating venue project of the 2026 FotoFocus Biennial.

 

 

$45 for up to THREE entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry.

 

 

Includes honorarium of $50 for each exhibiting artist and Grand Jury Award of $1,000 for one jury-selected work from among the exhibits on view.
