The Elegance at Hershey, a weekend long series of charity vintage and collector car events partners with the Brath & Hughes LLC Fine Art Gallery at Mechanicsburg's First Friday festivities on June 1, offering a "Sneak Preview" of the kinds of cars and "automobile art" one can expect to see at The Elegance at Hershey events the following weekend at The Hotel Hershey®.
The Friday June 1 First Friday event in Mechanicsburg includes a showing of several rare automobiles in front of the neo-classical Brath and Hughes Fine Art LLC gallery, the former Mechanicsburg Bank Building. Included in the display is a stunning 1935 Bentley 3½ Litre by Hooper from the nearby Rolls Royce Museum. Also on display is a very rare, newly- restored British microcar; a 1958 Berkeley Roadster owned by Dillsburg car enthusiast Jay Young. These and other collector cars will be on display in front of the Brath & Hughes Fine Art LLC Gallery at 41 West Main Street, Mechanicsburg from 5:00 to 9:00 PM on Friday June 1.
Inside the Brath & Hughes Gallery, a wine & cheese reception at 6:00 PM opens a special First Friday exhibit entitled "The Automobile as Art" featuring classic and vintage car photography from renowned Philadelphia photographer Michael Furman, as well as photographs by local photographer Stuart Leask of Sturazzi Photography. Paintings by popular automobile artist Ken Reed of Hamburg and selections from the extensive collection at the AACA Library & Research Center in Hershey, one of The Elegance at Hershey beneficiaries, are also displayed.
Brath and Hughes represent more than 50 local and regional artists. Watercolorist Debra Tritt-Kreiger is featured in "the bank vault" with seashore- themed art. Craig Smith is featured with a collection of mixed media fine art. Meet the artists during the event. Live music will be performed by Jeff Greenawalt playing Victorian era instruments inside the Gallery, with Jack Poole performing outside on the electric violin.
