95th Art Show At Phillips’ Mill Welcomes Fall With Showcase Of Art

NEW HOPE, PA —The Phillips' Mill Juried Art Show celebrates its 95th year in the historic grist mill from now through October 27.

The most prestigious show in the area, it showcases the vibrant artistic community of Bucks County and the River Towns region which submitted over 650 works of art this year.

Nestled on River Road just north of New Hope, the exhibition at Phillips’ Mill is the perfect destination for art-loving leaf peepers during the autumn season.

The show takes on a unique perspective each year with a new slate of jurors selected to evaluate the hundreds of works submitted.

Chosen to adjudicate the submissions this year in graphics and painting were noted educators, curators and artists Corrine Chong, PhD, formerly of the Barnes Foundation, Curlee Raven Holton, founder of Raven Fine Art Editions, and William Perthes of the Barnes Foundation. Award-winning sculptors Linda Brenner, retired sculpture department chair of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Jennifer Zwilling of The Clay Studio served as jurors for sculpture and portfolio submissions. Jurors had their work cut out for them as they considered the works of over 300 individual artists.

“March Afternoon” by Donna Ruane Rogers is this year’s Signature Image for the 95th Juried Art Show at Phillips’ Mill.

The gallery is open daily from 1 to 5 p.m. and can be viewed online as well at phillipsmill.org. Admission prices are $6 for adults, $2 for students. The show is free for Phillips’ Mill members. Enjoy all the benefits of Mill membership by joining at phillipsmill.org.
