Mary Smith Prize

The Mary Smith Prize (defunct) was a prestigious art prize awarded to women artists by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. It recognized the best work by a Philadelphia woman artist at PAFA's annual exhibition — one that showed "the most originality of subject, beauty of design and drawing, and finesse of color and skill of execution".^[1]^[2] The prize was founded in 1879 by Russell Smith in memory of his deceased daughter, artist Mary Russell Smith.^[3]^[4] It was awarded from 1879 to 1968.^[5]
