In an interview with Elizabeth Greenberg, MMW Provost who teaches workshops in Maine and Hawaii, as well as part of the certificate and MFA programs, we discussed her role in organizing the country’s second largest prize in honor of her former mentor, Arnold Newman’s memory.
Elizabeth Greenberg:
I spent four years working full-time with Arnold, and another six freelancing on his special projects, or photo shoots. Arnold was notorious for being miserable to work for and most assistants did not last more than a few months–somehow, we got along just fine.How was the Arnold Newman Prize initiated?Arnold and his wife Augusta were like surrogate parents to me. I got to know their two sons and grandchildren.
In 2016, the Foundation approached MMW to host and administer the annually funded prize, and scholarships at the school. In 2020, the Foundation gifted an $1.125 million endowment to MMW to offer the prize and scholarships in perpetuity–or at least for a very long time. When we received the endowment , the board voted to name the Provost position in honor of the endowment and to secure stewardship for the prize and scholarships.
This year we waived the $55 fee for several organizations, including Indigo Arts Alliance, Authority Collective, Diversify Photo, Women Photograph, Indigenous Photograph, Foto Feminas, and Black Women Photographers. Each of these organizations nominated two of their members to submit work.
