 | EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: EASTER IN ART

The story of Christ’s death and resurrection has dominated western culture for the past 2000 years. It is perhaps the most significant historical event of all time, as recounted by the gospels but, equally, as depicted by the greatest artists in history. From the triumphant to the savage, the ethereal to the tactile, some of western civilization’s greatest artworks focus on this pivotal moment. This beautifully crafted film explores the Easter story as depicted in art, from the time of the early Christians to the present day. Shot on location in Jerusalem, United States and throughout Europe, the film explores the different ways artists have depicted the Easter story through the ages and thus depicts the history of us all.

The greatest story ever painted.

“Anyone who has any interest in art... anyone who has any interest in visual culture... has to be interested in the Christian story.”
–Rachel Campbell-Johnston, The Times

Directed by Phil Grabsky
Running time: Approx. 85 minutes

All seats for this special event are $14.00. Passes, Value Cards and Gift Cards are not valid for this special event. Online ticket sales are not available for this event. Tickets can be purchased at the Avon Cinema box office starting two weeks before the event.

---We're Keeping You Safe At the Avon Cinema---

Following the CDC and state and local guidelines, we have instituted new procedures to keep everyone safe.

Many seats and rows have been closed to ensure proper spacing between guests. Seats that are available are easily identified with white tape at the top of the seat back. No one will be directly in front of or in back of another person. Two people arriving together may sit together. If someone comes alone, they may not sit next to another person who came alone.

Guests buying tickets will notice tape on the floor at 6 foot intervals leading up to the box office. There are decals on the lobby floor at 6 foot intervals that lead up to the concession stand and the auditorium.

If you are paying with a credit card, our terminal is now accessible to you. Our cashier will prompt you when to insert or remove your card. You may also tear your receipt directly from the credit card machine. You may also pay with cash.

At the end of each show, we clean and sanitize the theatre (including seats, armrests, counters, bathrooms, door handles, hand rails, etc.) before admitting people in for the next show.

Face masks are worn at all times except while you are sitting in the auditorium. Remember to wear your face mask to exit after the show.

We look forward to seeing all of you again!

Please Note:
Film dates and showtimes are subject to change. To confirm call 401-421-AVON (or 401-421-3315) for Film Titles and Showtimes.
