Artists wait for this moment each summer, the chance to submit their finest work to the Juried Art Show at Phillips’ Mill, the prestigious art exhibition, which celebrates its 95th anniversary this year.
Registration for this year’s show opens July 28 and runs through Aug. 25. All submissions must be registered through Smarter Entry during this period and delivered to the mill for in person jurying Friday, Sept. 6 or Saturday, Sept. 7. The exhibition will be held at the mill and online, Sept. 21 - Oct. 27, daily from 1 to 5 p.m.
Artists can view and download the show’s prospectus at www.phillipsmill.org/art/juried-art-show-prospectus. The prospectus outlines a host of important details, including the link to Smarter Entry, important dates, and guidelines for each of three categories of submissions, as well as tips on photographing your work for best results for the online portion of the show. Note: All artwork must be for sale.
For 95 years, Phillips’ Mill has showcased exceptional art from the region. The art show committee encourages emerging as well as established artists within a 25-mile radius of the mill to submit their work to be juried by an all-new, distinguished panel of jurors from the Barnes Foundation, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, The Clay Studio, and the University of Maryland. Visit the Mill website to learn more about the jurors: Linda Brenner, Corrinne Chong, Curlee Raven Holton, William Perthes, and Jennifer Zwilling.
An entry fee of $35 covers submissions to all three categories –– framed works, sculpture, and unframed works displayed in portfolios throughout the show galleries. Members of the Mill receive a 50% discount. Join online before submitting to take advantage of this member perk. A special discount code will be furnished to all members.
A highlight of each year’s show is the annual Preview Reception for Patrons, held the evening prior to the show’s public opening. All submitting artists, accepted or not, receive an invitation to the reception where they can view the exhibition, network with fellow artists and exhibition patrons, and celebrate at the awards presentation. Last year, jurors honored 20 artists with awards totaling $12,000 funded by patrons of the show. Anyone interested in becoming a patron of the exhibition can donate online. All contributors at the patron level receive an invitation to the Patron Preview Reception along with other benefits.
