Interview with Dr. Elaine Melotti and Steven Alan Bennett, Founders of The Bennett Prize

Created in 2018, The Bennett Prize is the largest ever Prize offered solely to women painters. The accolade aims to give recognition to women artists who paint in the figurative realist style and who have not yet realised their full professional potential. The Prize, with the call for entry open from 13 April to 28 September 2018, awards $50,000 to allow the winning artist to create her own solo exhibition. Renowned art collectors Dr Elaine Melotti Schmidt and Steven Alan Bennett give us more of an insight into the importance of The Bennett Prize and the issues it highlights.
