The image of the Astoria created by local Retro-inspired artist and photographer, Rona McSeveny. The text of the images reads: The image of the Astoria is created by local Retro-inspired artist and photographer, Rona McSeveny. The Astoria Ayr poster was inspired by the local news that the Merlin Group had purchased the cinema in Robert Burns Square, and would reappropriate the original name of Astoria. "As a result, I returned the cinema back to its art deco glory", explains Rona. "Using the Astoria name is symbolic of the Art Deco period in 1938 when the cinema was built. Astoria ties the cinema back to an aspirational period of high art, design and entertainment for everyone".
