Call For Art: 94th “Phillips’ Mill Juried Art Exhibition”

The Art Committee at Phillips’ Mill has announced the Call for Art for the 94th “Phillips’ Mill Juried Art Exhibition.” Artists who live – or have a studio – within a 25-mile radius of the Mill are invited to submit their work from July 30 to August 27. The Art Committee encourages all artists to submit, from the highly established to the emerging beginner, from the widely shown to the underrepresented. All submissions will be done online through Smarter Entry before work is dropped off at the Mill for in person jurying. For all details, refer to this year’s prospectus, which can be found on the Mill’s website at phillipsmill.org/art/juried-art-show-prospectus and includes entry instructions, links, and dates for events surrounding the 2023 show.

The exhibition will be held in person at Phillips’ Mill in New Hope, Pa., as well as online, September 23 through October 29. Generations of artists have made the “Phillips’ Mill Juried Art Exhibition” one of the most distinguished in Bucks County, Pa. All submitting artists will receive an invitation to the opening night reception for patrons and artists on September 22 when award winners will be announced. Over $11,000 in awards were presented in 2022.

In person assistance with online registration will be offered on the Mill’s Concierge Day on August 15 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Mill. Artwork will be received at the Mill on Friday, September 8 and Saturday, September 9. All artwork must be registered online via Smarter Entry prior to being dropped off at the Mill.
