Rebecca Orcutt is together with nine other female figurative artists nominated for Rising Voices 2 The Bennett Prize
Ten women from across the country who paint in the figurative realist style were named finalists for the $50,000 Bennett Prize®, the largest art award ever offered solely to women figurative realist painters, and now in its second round of awards. The finalists were selected from among 674 entrants, a number that surpasses the entrants in 2018, the inaugural year of The Prize. Endowed at The Pittsburgh Foundation by art collectors Steven Alan Bennett and Dr. Elaine Melotti Schmidt, The Prize is designed to propel the careers of women artists.
Rebecca Orcutt was in American Art Collector Magazine issue 184, in an article about the Bennett Prize 2.0 finalists.
