“BEST FRIENDS”: This painting by Richard Worzel is part of the Phillips’ Mill Community Association’s Second Annual Mill Members Art Show and Sale, on view March 8, 9, 15, and 16 from 12 to 4 p.m. at Phillips’ Mill in New Hope, Pa.
Members of the Phillips’ Mill Community Association in New Hope, Pa., will be in the spotlight at the Second Annual Mill Members Art Show and Sale. The exhibition will be open for two consecutive weekends, March 8 and 9, and March 15 and 16, from 12 to 4 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated.
The show will feature more than 500 works of art by over 170 artists, all members of Phillips’ Mill Community Association. An array of fine art and crafts will be represented in the non-juried show including paintings and sculpture, jewelry and textiles, mixed media, ceramics, photography, and works on paper.
Show chair Shawn Campbell, an award-winning ceramicist from Alexandria Township, said, “The overwhelmingly positive response to last year’s Mill Members Art Show and Sale compelled us to repeat it this year and make it even better. This year, we’ll be showing even more artwork and fine crafts by our members, and none of it has been shown here before. It’s really a celebration of our members’ creativity.”
Works by well-known community artists including Robert Beck, Janine Dunn Wade, Dot Bunn, Helena van Emmerik-Finn, and Richard Lennox will fill both levels of the building with a portion of each sale going to the upkeep of the historic 18th-century former grist mill. An open house will kick off the event at the historic Mill on March 8 at 12 p.m.
The Phillips’ Mill Community Association, located at 2619 River Road, in New Hope, Pa., was founded in 1929 to feature the works of its founding members including first president William Lathrop, Daniel Garber, John Folinsbee, Mary Perkins Taylor, Morgan Colt, and Edward Redfield. The Mill Members Show and Sale pays homage to those earliest exhibitions and the artists who created the legacy of the still-thriving Bucks County, Pa., artistic community.
