Details to follow in due course. Ventnor Arts Club Email: wendy@ventnorartsclub.com Exhibition on Screen - Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern WomanExhibition on Screen - Mary Cassatt: Painting the Modern Woman – ![]() Released to coincide with International Women’s Day. Mary Cassatt made a career painting the lives of the women around her. Her radical images showed them as intellectual, curious and engaging, which was a major shift in the way women appeared in art. Presenting her astonishing prints, pastels and paintings, this film introduces us to the often-overlooked Impressionist whose own career was as full of contradiction as the women she painted. She printed, sketched, and painted dozens of images of mothers and children yet she never married or had children herself. She was a classically trained artist but chose to join a group of Parisian radicals – the Impressionists – a movement that transformed the language of art. The world’s most eminent Cassatt curators and scholars help tell this riveting tale of great social and cultural change; a time when women were fighting for their rights and the language of art was completely re-written. Mary Cassatt and her modern women were at the heart of it all.

Club Screening: VortexClub Screening: Vortex – ![]() The latest feature from Gaspar Noé is a tender and undeniably powerful exploration of loneliness and love. Having debuted to widespread acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival, it focuses on an elderly couple (played by Françoise Lebrun and Dario Argento) who spend their days in a Paris apartment. Both love and care for each other, but are grappling with the early stages of dementia. Presented in split-screen, we follow the couple as they go about their daily routines both together and alone. As everyday tasks become more challenging, forgetfulness shifts to something more troubling and their son (Alex Lutz) struggles to care for them as they enter a vortex of mental and physical degeneration. Compelling and moving in equal measure, this is a departure for Noé - but in terms of scope and ambition, it is one of his finest works to date.

Nina Ross In ConcertNina Ross In Concert – ![]() After an early start in classical singing Nina moved into design careers in Theatre and Film then retrained in Jazz over lockdown.

With storytelling at the forefront Nina sings with a purity of sound and a touch of folk. She looks to weave between the shifting lines of light and dark, hope and melancholy, joy and sorrow. Nina takes inspiration from a variety of music genres including alternative/art pop, jazz, folk and classical. Her influences include Beth Gibbons (Portishead), Nina Simone, Billie Holiday and Norma Winstone. Enjoy a pared down relaxed approach as Nina delivers a set of known and less well-known songs from the American Songbook such as Round Midnight, Skylark, I’m a Fool to Want You and Wild is the Wind, along with a jazz approach to contemporary songs by Portishead, David Bowie and Joni Mitchell. This evening Nina is joined by Tom Barker, piano, and Jon Thorne on bass. Ventnor Arts Club Email: info@ventnorartsclub.com Buy Tickets |
