Recognized as the Birthplace of Pennsylvania Impressionism, Phillips’ Mill Community
Association has provided a meeting place for artists to gather and exhibit their work since 1929.
It is where William Lathrop, founder of the organization along with friends Daniel Garber, Fern
Coppedge, John Folinsbee, Mary Elizabeth Price, Edward Redfield and many others of the New
Hope School, exhibited the art of their time, just as the local community of artists exhibits their
art.

From traditional Bucks County landscapes to the modern and abstract, Phillips’ Mill
embraces the world of art in all its forms of expression. By inviting a different array of jurors
each year, each show results in a new look at what our area artists are presenting to the world.
Mill members take great pride in its rich history and welcome the membership of all who
appreciate the arts and the profound heritage of the beloved mill.
