“MARO DĒLO TOUR POSTER”: This image by Thomas C. DeLorenzo will be on display at this year’s “Not Your Run of the Mill Photo Show,” on view April 23-30 at Phillips’ Mill in New Hope, Pa.

Putting a cap on photography month at Phillips’ Mill, the “Not Your Run of the Mill Photo Show” will be open to the community April 23 -30. Now in its third year, the Mill Photo Committee members’ fine art photography images will grace the walls of the historic mill following the 30th Anniversary celebration of the juried “Phillips’ Mill Photographic Exhibition,” which closes on April 21.   

One of the best perks of being a Mill Photo volunteer is the opportunity to show your work in this innovative show. Giving traditions new energy when the need arises is a hallmark of the Mill Photo Committee of volunteers. When the pandemic closed the doors to the 18th century mill and life seemed to come to a screeching halt as they were organizing the 2020 juried show, the Mill Photo Committee sprang into action.  All talented photographers in their own right, the committee members assembled works from their own portfolios to present an online show when in-person gatherings were suspended. The result was the “Not Your Run of the Mill Photo Show.”

Throughout the year, the Mill Photo Committee dedicates its time, talent, creativity, and resources to producing the annual juried “Phillips’ Mill Photographic Exhibition” as well as numerous other programs and events at the Mill. “Not Your Run of the Mill” is an opportunity to celebrate these volunteer artists and their work.

“This show is one of the prime benefits of joining the Mill Photo Committee,” said Committee Chairman Spencer Saunders. “It is the reward for all the hard work these volunteers put in each year across 20 different committees, from marketing to digital and social media to building walls, setting the lights, and hanging the show.”

Phillips’ Mill is located at 2619 River Road in New Hope, Pa. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 1-5 p.m., with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until 8 p.m. For a glimpse of what’s in store this year, the inaugural 2021 “Not Your Run of the Mill Show” is available online at phillipsmill.org/photography/members-photo-show.
