About the Manifest Exhibition Annual

Through nine seasons Manifest Press produced 74 full-color catalogs documenting the works selected for every exhibit presented in our galleries. Starting with season 10 (fall of 2013) we shifted to the design of one much larger high quality hard-cover publication documenting each entire season of exhibits, artists, and works shown. The Manifest Exhibition Annual continues Manifest's commitment to long-term documentation and dissemination of our projects, and the expansion of physical exhibits into a broader geography and time frame, while also bringing all exhibits together under one cover each year to create a better product which will be more valuable to the public, teachers, students, libraries, and exhibiting artists.

Once the retrospective production of our second decade of exhibits is caught up each publication will be designed and printed within the first quarter of the following season, and expected to ship by the following spring. (Manifest's exhibit season runs September to September each year.

Visit Manifest Press to see past catalogs (the legacy format) and our award-winning INDA, INPA, and INPHA books.

Each book is a beautifully designed 13" x 10" hardcover casebound volume (symth sewn binding, premium laminated full-color printed cover; full color dust jacket.)
