This First Ten inaugural residency was inspired by the women artists of the original New Hope Colony who went on to form the Philadelphia Ten. Considered the birthplace of Pennsylvania Impressionism, the original New Hope Colony and its artist residency was founded almost 100 years ago by the renowned painters William Lathrop, Edward Redfield and Daniel Garber, along with the artist and architect Morgan Colt. It was Colt who built the iconic English Village at Phillips Mill. It was on these bucolic grounds along the Delaware River that artists came to paint en plein air and eventually an artist residence was formalized in the 1920s.
