The Mill kicked off the holiday season with a fabulous party. Members and their guests enjoyed live music, great food, good wine and, of course, eggnog.
Members and guests gathered at the Mill on Friday, October 18, 2024, to socialize and enjoy the 95th Annual Juried Art Exhibition. As in the past, the event drew a large crowd.
The 95th Birthday Bash at the Mill last Saturday evening was a rousing success. A full house enjoyed a festive atmosphere under perfectly behaved blue skies thanks to the weather gods and a hard-working committee of volunteers.
Every year, Phillips’ Mill recognizes some of the finest work by area artists with special awards during its Annual Juried Art Show opening reception. This year’s exhibition, the 95th Juried Art Show, will feature a variety of awards.
Csilla Sadloch was an award-winning artist whose works on paper and paintings appeared in a multitude of solo shows—including at the Woodmere Art Museum—and group shows both regionally and nationally. Known for her large-scale graphite drawings of plant matter, Csilla’s detailed renderings of meandering vines, curled bark, and gnarly roots are striking, meticulous and extraordinarily realistic.
This year’s annual appreciation party for Marshall Circle and Lathrop Circle members was held on Sunday, June 10, at Highland Farm, the home of Oscar Hammerstein and now the Oscar Hammerstein Museum and Theatre Education Center (OHMTEC). The weather was perfect, the grounds were delightful, and the docent-led house tour was a special treat.
We say goodbye to Joe, a man of many talents and advanced degrees, but here at the Mill we know him as “the drummer in the band”.
The Phillips’ Mill Community Association lost a past Board member and elected Honorary Member with the passing of Janet Marsh Hunt in December at the age of 95.
It was a glorious evening along the banks of the Primrose Creek—and actually in the creek itself, as the 2023 Mill Preservation Committee entertained guests with a brilliantly British affair.
Ellie was an extraordinary person and I can say this because to date I have not met anyone like her. She was kind and thoughtful, pleasant and cheerful, gentle and generous. Everyone who met Ellie got the same impression of her and then remarked, “How did I ever meet such a sweet and lovely lady?”
The annual Spring Fling at the Phillips’ Mill Photographic Exhibition was held on Friday, April 14, for Mill members and their guests. Great attendance, wonderful weather and superb photographs made for another delightful evening at the Mill.
Jim Stinnett recently passed away at his home in Yardley, Penn., surrounded by family and friends. He was the husband of Carol Stinnett, Art Committee member and former Phillips’ Mill Art Show Chairperson. Jim and Carol were Lathrop Circle members and have, for many years, given an art show award for abstract painting.
It’s been a wonderful year. We thank you for sharing it with us.
A lively Mill Members Mixer was held on Friday evening, October 21, at the Annual Juried Art Show. About 90 members and their guests attended.
Each year, the Phillips’ Mill Community Association’s Board of Directors hosts a party in appreciation of the Lathrop Circle’s additional support of the many art, drama, photography, educational and social programs that help make Phillips’ Mill such a vital part of the larger community.
On Midsummer’s Night (June 24) the Mill lawn was the setting for a merry rendition of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Mill members and their guests dined amid a sparkling, magic forest where lively actors performed a delightfully bowdlerized version of Shakespeare’s popular comedy.
Join us behind the scenes with the team that set out to keep people engaged with the arts throughout the COVID-19 pandemic — and beyond.
