NEW HOPE, PA — For the first time in its 91-year history, the paintings, photographs and sculptures submitted to the Phillips' Mill Juried Art Show are only available for online viewing.

Normally held at the historic Phillips Mill just north of New Hope, the 2020 art show has been an entirely virtual exhibition featuring sculpture, framed work and portfolio pieces by nearly 300 artists whose work is judged by the art committee of the Phillips’ Mill Community Association.

Among this year's 18 award winners are Amanda Penecale, an Ottsville artist and art educator who has been painting imagery of Bucks County since childhood, in the category of First Time Exhibitor.
