Mill Members Show Spotlights More Than 500 Works Of Art In Bucks

SOLEBURY TOWNSHIP, PA – For two weekends in a row, members of the Phillips’ Mill Community Association will showcase more than 500 works of art during the 2nd Annual Mill Members Art Show & Sale.

According to show organizers, the exhibition will be open March 8 and 9 and again on March 15 and 16 from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free, but donations will be gladly accepted.

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.

"The overwhelmingly positive response to last year's Mill Members Art Show & Sale compelled us to repeat it this year and make it even better," said show chair Shawn Campbell, an award-winning ceramicist from Alexandria Township, N.J. "This year, we'll be showing even more artwork and fine crafts by our members, and none of it has been shown here before,” she says. “It's really a celebration of our members' creativity."

Works by artists well-known in the community 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 noon.

The Phillips’ Mill Community Association 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 artistic community.
