This 14th installment of the Master Pieces project reveals the intensity and professionalism of students working towards their terminal academic degree in the field of art or design. Often the most exceptional work comes out of these artists’ immersion in their culture of study and intellectual pursuit. Manifest’s goal, in this highly competitive international exhibition, is to select works that set the standard of quality that the artist is expected to maintain throughout his or her professional career and justify the degree of Master.
