Calling all cinephiles and Impression-able artists – We’ve got the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day!
We’re thrilled to announce our next movie-themed paint & sip event: Loving Vincent at the Athena, inspired by the world-renown painter Vincent Van Gogh! Van Gogh’s work has stood the test of time, filled museums around the world, and continues to move and enchant viewers of all ages with its rich colors, interesting subject matter, and fluid technique. Not only that, but the life story of Van Gogh himself has kept fans and scholars busy for more than a century trying to get to the heart of what propelled his rise to greatness and his tragic decent into madness.
OHIO Graduate Art Student Brooke Ripley will lead a 2 hour course that will guide you thru the creation of a Van Gogh-esque painting inspired by the master’s iconic style.

Mike Nichols, who was involved in the original 1983 Broadway adaptation, directs this hilarious cinematic adaptation of La Cage aux Folles, the 1973 French play by Jean Poiret. Featuring a supporting cast that includes Gene Hackman, Dianne West, and Hank Azaria, The Birdcage is a fun and flamboyant comedy about what happens when one’s true identity is forced into hiding, and its critical acclaim made it a landmark film with respect to LGBTQ representation in mass media.
Otto Maddox (Emilio Estevez) is a young punk in L.A. who loses his job, his girl, and his desire to put up with his hippie-ish parents. Wandering the streets one night, Otto is approached by Bud (Harry Dean Stanton) and offered a small sum of money to drive a car out of the neighborhood. This leads to Otto getting swept up in a chain of events that involves him begrudgingly becoming a “repo man” and chasing after the $20K bounty on a Chevy Malibu whose trunk may contain something more otherworldly than a spare tire.
Natasha Lyonne stars alongside Clea DuVall, Ru Paul, and Cathy Moriarty in this charming and satirical teen cult film directed by Jamie Babbit.
Released in 1990, GHOST was not only the highest-grossing film of that year, but it was also nominated for five Academy Awards (two of which it won – Best Supporting Actress for Whoopi Goldberg and Best Screenplay for Bruce Joel Rubin). Beyond that, the film’s legacy remains strong decades later due to iconic moments like the “pottery wheel love scene”, its enchanting soundtrack, its original use of special effects, and its performances from an amazing cast. GHOST is a truly unique love story that will continue to haunt you for all the years to come!
Travolta is “Tony Manero”, a Brooklyn teen on the verge of manhood, who works a dead-end job in a paint store by day but becomes king of the dancefloor among the nightlife of his favorite discotheque. The gritty streets of New York are a tough place for a young man, however, and Tony finds himself embroiled in several situations that threaten to break him down and undermine his faith in the power of dance to set him free.
