JULY
THROUGHOUT JULY LIFE DRAWING SHOWCASE & ARTIST EXHIBITION
.png)
Throughout July we are showcasing a varied and eclectic mix of life drawing studies and artworks from artists who attend Bath Drawing's weekly classes in Bath.
The exhibition can be seen every Friday evening in our ground floor Waterside Bar between 5pm - 10:30pm and at other times when we have public events
‘For the artist, drawing is discovery’ is how renowned art critic John Berger begins his essay, ‘The Basis of all Painting and Sculpture is Drawing’.
This exhibition features the work of print makers, painters, architects and life models whose commonality in their practice is the foundation of a life drawing class – to observe, discover and create form.

A dilapidated Tuscan smallholding is home to Wolfgang, Angelica and their four daughters. The eldest girl Gelsomina is de facto head of the family, partly because of her father’s wayward behaviour but mostly because of her great understanding of the apiary which provides their main source of income. Their tight-knit, loving and eccentric way of life is threatened by new health standards which their apiary will not meet. When Gelsomina stumbles across a location shoot for ‘Village Wonders’, a tacky tv show which showcases quaint rural practices, she is transfixed by the glamourous presenter Milly and perceives a way out of the family predicament. But can she convince Wolfgang?

The uneventful routines of cycling cheerily around Reykjavik, practising Tai-Chi and leading the local choir disguise 50-yr-old Halla’s hidden life as ‘The Woman of the Mountain,’ a passionate environmental activist waging a war against the local aluminium industry. She cleverly and consistently outwits the authorities and as her actions grow bolder, from petty vandalism to outright industrial sabotage, she succeeds in pausing the negotiations between the Icelandic government and the corporation building a new aluminium smelter. But, just as she begins planning her biggest and boldest operation yet, she receives an unexpected letter that changes everything.
Tickets: £9/£7 (WSC members)

Having gained experience and confidence in Rome, Clelia, from a poor family, returns to her native Turin to set up a fashion salon. On her first night, a woman in the neighbouring hotel room, Rosetta, nearly dies after overdosing on pills. Sympathising, Clelia takes Rosetta under her wing and meets three of her girl friends, Momina, Nene and Mariella. All are rich and materially successful, although lead complicated love lives. With the cynical Momina attempting to orchestrate manoeuvres, the women try to make sense of the tangled web of emotions and motivations afforded by modern, affluent, post-industrial, urbanite living.
