The Four of Clubs
Step into a whirlwind tour through time with The Four of Clubs, a captivating celebration of four legendary female impresarios who defied convention and lit up the nightlife scenes of their eras. From the glittering ballrooms of 18th century Soho, where Venetian opera diva Teresa Cornelys ruled London's first "nightclub" at Carlisle House... To the underground avant-garde glamour of Frieda Strindberg’s Cave of the Golden Calf in 1912 Mayfair, frequented by artists, rebels, and rockstars of their time... Then to the seductive world of the Marchesa Luisa Casati, the eccentric Italian heiress who turned herself into living art and scandalized Europe... And finally, to roaring 1920s Club 43 in Soho, run by the indomitable Irish queen of speakeasies, Kate Meyrick — a woman who partied through prohibition and prison alike. A rich blend of storytelling, theatre, and time-traveling spectacle awaits. This is not just a show — it’s a celebration of the bold, the wild, and the women who made history after dark. Doors for this event are at 6:30pm and tickets are €15, please contact the office at office@unitedartsclubdublin.com to purchase your tickets.

Dominika Piekarska - Exhibition Opening
Join us on Friday the 4th of April for the Opening of Dominika Piekarska's latest exhibition Light Shining Through Darkness to be officially opened by Ciara Ferguson. Light Shining Through' is a collection of atmospheric, contemporary landscape paintings by Iveragh based artist Dominika Piekarska. The work is inspired by the dramatic, coastal views of South West Kerry. In order to capture the mood of the place, the artists gives the skies and clouds the leading role, often leaving the land in the background. Through the medium of oil paint, she creates dreamy, meditative snapshots of places, a mixture of the artist's observations, memories and impressions, enhanced by the interplay of light and shadow. My work reflects the dynamic changes of the weather, constant spectacle in the sky, unfolding right before my eyes every day, from romantic and beautiful, to gloomy and unsettling. Through the mood I share my perception and my personal connection to Kerry.
