Phillips' Mill Invites Signature Image Submissions For 94th Show

NEW HOPE, PA — Phillips' Mill is putting out the call for a "signature image" of the Mill, which will be used to help promote its 94th Juried Phillips' Mill Art Show to be held in the fall.

The image will be used on all advertising and marketing materials for this year’s show, including posters, ads, invitations, postcards, social media, banners, invitations, and on the website. Submissions will be accepted through April 7.

The winning artist will receive a $400 honorarium and will be promoted in the press and on social media. The artwork will also be featured for sale at the show. (The artist is welcome to submit additional work to the juried show itself.)

"This is a dynamic opportunity for high visibility of the artist's work, style and name among the area's community of collectors," said show organizers. "The show will also be presented online, which will introduce the artist's work to an international community."

Previous signature images have included whimsical as well as traditional depictions of the Mill and its surroundings.

"We are encouraging artists to consider themes of diversity and to 'think outside of the box.' Collages, watercolors, oils, and acrylics have all been chosen so artists should feel free to use their favorite medium, other than photography, to create their vision of the Mill," said organizers.

Email a high-resolution jpeg of the work to artshow@phillipsmill.org by end of day April 7. Provide the title, size and medium of the piece, your name, address, phone number and email address. After a preliminary review of online submissions, finalists will be chosen and notified by email to deliver their work for in-person review at Phillips’ Mill at 2619 River Road, New Hope on Monday, April 10 at 9:30 a.m.

The winning image will be revealed and announced on the Phillips' Mill website, social media pages,newsletter and other communications. Questions? Email Theresa Brumfield at tbrummy@rocketmail.com.
