Every year the Phillips’ Mill Art Show Committee selects a “Signature Image” of the Mill to be used on posters, ads, postcards, social media and the website for the upcoming show. This is a dynamic opportunity for artists to build their visibility among collectors. In the past, many of our signature images have sold.
Artists are encouraged to include whimsical as well as traditional depictions of the Mill and its surroundings. We encourage artists to consider themes of diversity and to “think outside of the box."
The 2024 Signature Image is “March Afternoon” by Donna Ruane Rogers of Frenchtown.The artist was inspired by the lights and shadows on the Mill the day she decided to enter the contest. As she walked around the building booking for the most dramatic angle, she recalled what it felt like to stand in line outside the Mill on the day she first submitted work to the show last year.“I remember waiting in line to bring my work inside. My heart was racing a little bit. You are looking at everyone else’s work,” she says. “When I found out my painting was chosen as the Signature Image, it blew me away. It is such an honor. The Phillips Mill Juried Art Show is the pinnacle for artists in the area.”
The Phillips’ Mill Art Exhibition is a juried show. The jurors’ selections from the many submissions by our talented pool of local artists are what give our show its look each year. Every year we have new judges. This process gives our show a different look each year, but the look is always based in our local community. Our jurors are accomplished artists in their own right, often with an academic background. We’ve had curators and art historians serve as jurors as well. We’re very proud of the shows they design for us and welcome our esteemed jurors of the 95th Phillips' Mill Art Exhibition.
Thank you to all who support our historic juried art show. You enable us to continue the legacy of William Lathrop, founder of the Phillips’ Mill Community Association along with his friends Daniel Garber, Fern Coppedge, John Folinsbee, Mary Elizabeth Price, Edward Redfield and the many other New Hope School artists who became the core of Pennsylvania Impressionism. They were devoted to exhibiting the art of their time, just as we are committed to showing the art of ours. Your support is invaluable.
We are deeply grateful for our longtime supporters, and we welcome all newcomers interested in honoring our past and supporting the local arts community. Together we continue the tradition begun in 1929 by William Lathrop, Daniel Garber, Fern Coppedge and their fellow Bucks County impressionists.
