“MARCH AFTERNOON”: A pastel by Donna Ruane Rogers depicting the historic mill where the annual “Juried Art Show at Phillips’ Mill” has been held for 95 years was selected as this year’s Signature Image. Registration for this year’s show opens on July 28.
Registration for the “95th Juried Art Show at Phillips’ Mill” in New Hope, Pa., opens July 28 and runs through August 25. All submissions must be registered through Smarter Entry during this period and delivered to the mill for in-person jurying on Friday, September 6 or Saturday, September 7. The exhibition will be held at the mill and online, September 21 through October 27, daily from 1 to 5 p.m.
Artists can view and download the show’s prospectus at phillipsmill.org/art/juried-art-show-prospectus. The prospectus outlines a host of details including the link to Smarter Entry, important dates, and guidelines for each of three categories of submissions, as well as tips on photographing your work for best results for the online portion of the show. Note: All artwork must be for sale.
For 95 years, Phillips’ Mill has showcased exceptional art from the region. The Art Show Committee encourages emerging as well as established artists within a 25-mile radius of the Mill to submit their work to be juried by a distinguished panel of jurors from the Barnes Foundation, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, The Clay Studio, and the University of Maryland. Visit the Mill website to learn more about the jurors: Linda Brenner, Corrinne Chong, Ph.D, Curlee Raven Holton, William Perthes, and Jennifer Zwilling.
An entry fee of $35 covers submissions to all three categories –– framed works, sculpture, and unframed works displayed in portfolios throughout the show galleries. Members of the Mill receive a 50 percent discount. One can join online before submitting to take advantage of this member perk. A special discount code will be furnished to all members.
A highlight of each year’s show is the annual Preview Reception for patrons, held the evening prior to the show’s public opening. All submitting artists, accepted or not, receive an invitation to the reception where they can view the exhibition, network with fellow artists and exhibition patrons, and celebrate at the awards presentation. Last year, jurors honored 20 artists with awards totaling $12,000 funded by patrons of the show. Anyone interested in becoming a patron of the exhibition can donate online. All contributors at the patron level receive an invitation to the Patron Preview Reception along with other benefits.
Phillips’ Mill Community Association continues the legacy of founders William Lathrop, Edward Redfield, Daniel Garber, Fern Coppedge and other New Hope School artists by providing a welcoming space for artists to gather and exhibit their work, a tradition begun nearly a century ago. Just as they exhibited the art of their time, Phillips’ Mill takes pride in presenting the art of theirs, from traditional Bucks County landscapes to the modern and abstract, embracing expression in all forms.
Phillips’ Mill Community Association is located at 2619 River Road, just north of New Hope, Pa. For more information, visit phillipsmill.org, call (215) 862-0582, or email info@phillipsmill.org.
