Call to Artists Landscape Juried Art Competition
Calling all Artists to participate in our first juried competition of 2026. Both 2D and 3D accepted. The theme is landscapes. 48 inches by 48 inches is the maximum size of the 2d art. 3D art is 24 inches by 24 inches.Exceptions can be made but must be approved by administration. The judge is Pam Bowers, Columbia Museum.
Pamela J. Bowers is a painter living and working in rural South Carolina amid rivers, streams, woods, and coastal lowlands. Having retired from teaching Studio Art at the University of South Carolina she now runs an arts and wellness studio for the public called Fern Song Studio. Her work is rooted in nature and attentive to the fragile boundary between seeing and feeling—between sight and touch.
Early in her practice, Bowers pursued travel, residencies, and extended stays in remote and culturally rich environments, including wilderness areas of Southeast Asia, southern China, and North Africa as well as Europe, particularly Italy. These encounters deepened her relationship to place—shaping her work through both cultural exchange and direct elemental experience. This sensibility continues to inform her work.
Her exhibitions span the United States and internationally across galleries, universities, museums, and cultural centers. Her work is held in numerous private and public collections. She currently divides her time between the wooded lowlands of South Carolina and the hills of Umbria, Italy, where landscape, light, silence and a passion for looking, feeling and connection continue to shape her work.
