Analog Art Club is a statewide initiative that invites Victorians to slow down, switch off their screens and connect in real life — through art. Hosted by galleries across Victoria, these phone-free events offer a welcoming space to reflect, discuss and experience art together, making creativity social, accessible and refreshingly analog.
This program encourages deeper connection with both art and community by fostering genuine, screen-free engagement in a relaxed and inclusive environment.
Analog Art Club is a joint initiative of Public Galleries Association of Victoria (PGAV) and ArtsHub.
