The City Art Centre is thrilled to host Scotland’s newest open call in contemporary art - Scottish Landscape Awards. The inaugural exhibition of the Scottish Landscape Awards is the biggest and most ambitious survey of contemporary landscape art in Scotland today and includes emerging artists alongside established professionals.
Presented by the Scottish Arts Trust, the awards were open to artists born, living or studying in Scotland working in any media with a first prize of £10,000. The exhibition is curated by, and the prize-winners chosen by, a distinguished panel of judges including Ade Adesina RSA, Marian Leven RSA, David Mach RA HRSA, Barbara Rae RA CBE RA RSA RSW (chair), and Jane and Louise Wilson RA.
Spanning 2 floors, the exhibition displays 133 artworks selected from 2,800 entries. Showcasing the breadth and diversity of innovative contemporary creativity in Scotland today, the selected works reflect all dimensions of natural and man-made environments including those that are imaginary, surreal, abstract, documentary, ecological and realistic across a wide range of media – from painting, sculpture, drawing and miniatures, to film, animation, audioscapes and virtual reality.
