FCM Announces Competition Juror
The Florence County Museum is pleased to announce South Carolina contemporary artist Claudia O’Steen as juror for the 2022 Pee Dee Regional Art Competition, sponsored by Chick-fil-A of Florence.
Claudia O’Steen is a mixed media, sculpture, and installation artist whose work explores ideas of navigation, perception, the experience of being lost, and the ways in which information is distorted through instruments that capture and translate transitional moments and places in time.
O’Steen has been awarded residencies at Rural Projects, Montalvo Arts Center, The Arctic Circle, and The National Centre for Contemporary Art St. Petersburg, Russia, and has exhibited both nationally and internationally at venues such as apexart and Flux Factory, NY.
She is currently Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at Winthrop University. O’Steen earned her MFA in Digital + Media at the Rhode Island School of Design.
Artists’ entries for the 2022 Pee Dee Regional Art Competition will be taken online at flocomuseum.org, from Friday, October 1 through Sunday, November 14. Any artist native to the Pee Dee area or currently living in Florence, Horry, Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon, Georgetown, Kershaw, Lee, Marion, Marlboro, Sumter, and Williamsburg counties are eligible to enter.
A cash prize of $1000 will be awarded to the competition’s first place winner.
Competition prospectus, schedule, and registration details can be found at flocomuseum.org/regional. Questions may be directed to Florence County Museum, 843.676.1200.
