[email protected] 19 Area Schools Participate in the Phillips’ Mill Community Association’s 4th Youth Art Exhibition The Phillips’ Mill Community Association is pleased to announce that it has hosted its 4th Youth Art Exhibition which began January 21. In its first year 9 schools participated. Last year, the number of participating schools was up to 14 and this year with all 14 schools returning and an additional 5 schools joining the exhibition the number has climbed to 19 schools. These schools are located in Bucks and Montgomery Counties as well as Mercer and Hunterdon Counties and include both public and private schools. “We are excited to see the number of schools electing to participate in the show grow each year. This year’s show exhibits works by approximately 150 student artists. The exhibition is free for the schools and the artists, no commission on sales is charged and there is no admission fee. There is no other show like this in the area. We hope to see even more visitors this year.” Said, Kathy Schroeher, co-chair of the 2017 show. The Youth Art Exhibition was conceived when Phillips’ Mill decided to build on the success of its well respected adult Art Exhibition now in its 88th year. As the adult show seeks participation from artist living within a 25 mile radius of the Mill, the Youth Art Show solicits participation from the art departments of high schools located within a 25 mile radius of the Mill. This year the 19 participating schools include Central Bucks
