Phillips' Mill Photography

APRIL 20 - 27, 2025
Sun, Wed & Thurs, 1-5 pm • Fri & Sat, 1-8 pm

Every spring, the talented photographic artists and members who volunteer their time every year to produce the annual Phillips’ Mill Photographic Exhibition, our juried photo show, are offered the chance to share their personal imagery for the Not Your Run of the Mill Photo Committee Show. Each artist is given the freedom to present a body of work that represents their vision. The results are inspiring!

PHILLIPS’ MILL PHOTO Yesterday and TODAY

Phillips’ Mill Photo was established to celebrate and promote the fine art of photography over three decades ago. The program centers around two shows held at the Mill each spring—the prestigious Phillips’ Mill Photographic Exhibition with distinguished photographers serving as jurors, followed by the "Not Your Run of the Mill" Photo Committee Show. In addition, Mill Photo hosts occasional workshops and lectures.

The Phillips’ Mill Photography program reflects both longstanding tradition and recent innovation. Since its inception in 1993, the juried Photographic Exhibition has gained a national and international following. In 2020, the program added its annual Photo Committee members’ show with a special-assignment section. The Mill Photo newsletter, Photozine, has become a semiannual journal that promotes the work and accomplishments of Mill Photo members.

In the same manner, the Phillips’ Mill Photo Committee is a blend of seasoned veterans and energetic newcomers. Leadership has reflected the former: the co-founders of the program, Spencer Saunders and Peter Redman, served as committee chairs for more than a decade with other experienced committee members including Sue Ann Rainey, Claudia Davis, Dafydd Jones, and most recently, Maria Dreyer, serving as chairs of the annual juried Photographic Exhibition. With over 1,000 submissions submitted annually from across the nation and even the world, the juried exhibition has become a respected signature program at Phillips’ Mill.
