the bennett prize seeks to use both the jury selection process as well as the completion of the residency as opportunities to showcase the work of women figurative realist painters. in this respect, the two exhibitions are contemplated. first, following the completion of the initial selection process, there will be a finalists exhibition of exemplary works of each of the ten selected artists. it is anticipated that the winner will be announced at this exhibition. thereafter, following the winner's completion of her residency, there will be a one-woman exhibition of the work she created during the residency. in future years, it is contemplated that the exhibition of the current finalists' works and that created by the most recent winner who is just completing her residency will occur simultaneously.
