Step forward, be seen, and claim your space in the art world: The Bennett Prize returns for Round 5, supporting women painters in the US who work in figurative realism and have not yet received the recognition they deserve.  Whether emerging or with decades of experience, thebennettprize celebrates skill, thoughtful exploration, and a deep commitment to the genre.

Ten artists will be featured in “Rising Voices,” a traveling exhibition opening at the muskegonartmuseum in 2027. One finalist will receive $75,000 for a solo exhibition, and one runner-up will receive $10,000.

As the largest award for women painters residing in the US working in figurative realism, The Prize amplifies your voice, vision, and future in contemporary art.
