This show is by invitation only.
The show will be open every weekend in June 2025 starting May 31, 2025 from 12 to 5 p.m.
In June 2025, Phillips’ Mill will honor Selma Burke’s legacy through the African American artists she inspired and supported. The esteemed artist selected for this show is James E. Dupreé, a protégé of Ms. Burke. His artwork, alongside that of other nationally recognized artists, will be among the invited participants in this prestigious exhibition.
Selma Burke, a pioneering African American sculptor, inspired countless individuals, particularly African Americans, through her unwavering determination to have her work and talent acknowledged. During her illustrious career, she established three prestigious sculpture schools in New York, Pittsburgh, and New Hope. Residing in New Hope for half of her remarkable 95 years, Burke dedicated herself to creating her artwork while inspiring both young and seasoned artists.
After years of tireless advocacy for recognition of her portrayal of Franklin D. Roosevelt on the dime, President Harry S. Truman bestowed upon her national recognition of her extraordinary accomplishment.
