• Fat Bat Brewing presents Kirby Heltebridle for June’s First Friday Artwalk. Kirby has received 31 awards for artwork since 1988, several in national juried shows. He paints a variety of subject matter including landscapes and historic race cars. His art is in the collections of colleges, corporations, and institutions, as well as many private individuals.
• Hanover Area Arts Guild member Dorothy Marquet completed a through-hike of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in 2025. Dorothy, a 2022 graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology with a major in photography, chronicled her experience on the trail with photo images and video. Her collection will be on display from May 26 to June 27.
• Little Fox Coffee & Books will be hosting local artist Jacy Crouse. Jacy tends to create art involving scenes that we often encounter in our lives but may not always carry in our immediate memories. They capture these recognizable moments and depict them in a way that brings a smile to your face – whether it’s because of the bright colors, or because a nostalgic feeling overwhelms you. Making art gives them the opportunity to bring joy to others and creatively express themselves while doing so.
• Sacred Heart Tattoo will be featuring husband and wife artists John & Rebecca Kelly. John began painting three years ago and has quickly developed a strong voice as an abstract artist, working primarily in acrylics. Rebecca embraces the freedom of abstract painting while also creating portraits and detailed drawings. She often incorporates collage and mixed media into her work, and she especially enjoys creating fabric art. John and Rebecca have been happily married for 25 years and live in Hanover, PA.
• The Serpent’s Key is hosting Holly Samuels, an intuitive artist and lover of nature. She uses watercolor, acrylics and recycled objects to create art inspired by all the things in the yard and in the woods. She feels art should be fun and low pressure. Too many people lose passion for art and singing and dancing because they feel they aren’t good enough. Creativity is the point, not whether it’s good enough for someone else.
• Warehouse Gourmet is hosting local artist Sandra Desrosiers. A Signature Member of the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, Sandra Desrosiers is an international award-winning classical artist. Rendered in Old Masters genre by applying several layers of thin oil paint, Sandra’s work reflects a high level of detail enhancing traditional realism. Her work consisting of still life, pet and people portraiture, florals, and some landscapes has been shown in galleries around the U.S. receiving many high honors.
