NEW HOPE, PA — Phillips’ Mill Community Association is partnering once again with Freeman's|Hindman auction house of Philadelphia on an exhibition of important Pennsylvania Impressionist paintings.

The three-day event from May 19 to 21 will offer collectors and art lovers an opportunity to admire the works of many of Phillips’ Mill’s founding artists including fresh-to-market examples by Edward Redfield, Daniel Garber, Fern Coppedge, George Sotter, and Robert Spencer.

Works exhibited at this event represent highlights from two upcoming auctions - "American Art and Pennsylvania Impressionists" on June 8, and on September 21, "Garden Party: The Collection of Renny Reynolds," a collection with strong local ties. A longtime Bucks County resident and garden and event designer, Reynolds is perhaps best known as the creator of Hortulus Farm along with late garden writer, Jack Staub, a property Reynolds sold not long ago.
