Analog Art Club 2026

Analog Art Club
Inspiration, without interruption.  

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. As part of the Analog Art Club, join us on a series of extended drawing workshops inspired by the Country, landscape and the surrounds of Tarrawarra Museum of Art and its Collection. Centred on the theme of the Wurundjeri seasons that are designed to inspire a deeper respect for Country, First Knowledges, place and contemporary art and culture.

Led by an accomplished TWMA artist and educator. These intimate drawing sessions will begin with mindfulness exercises designed to help connect with the present moment, fellow participants and the natural surroundings. Throughout the workshops, participants will receive group and one-on-one guidance on techniques and processes developed around considered observation encouraging a disconnection from screen and mobile devices.

Friday 4 September – Respond and Play with Olympia Antoniadis

Registered art therapist and artist Olympia Antoniadis will host an immersive two-hour workshop inspired by the exhibition Inside the Mirage. Gathering around a selected artwork, participants will be guided by Antoniadis through a process of slow looking, mindful observation and shared reflection, using what resonated with them as a starting point for creative exploration. Following a guided material warm-up, participants will be invited to experiment with a range of materials, including ink, pastel and watercolour, to investigate line, colour, texture and form. Encouraging curiosity, play and personal expression, the workshop offers a supportive space to explore materials, trust the creative process and develop individual responses to the artwork. Along the way, participants will have the opportunity to connect with the exhibition, themselves and others through making. Whether you are new to art or have years of experience, this Analog Art Club session offers a unique opportunity to slow down, look deeply and discover new ways of engaging with art through creative practice. Everyone is welcome.

For your comfort and safety, we recommend wearing clothing suitable for creative making. Places are strictly limited and all materials supplied.

Analog Art Club is a joint initiative of Public Galleries Association of Victoria (PGAV) and ArtsHub.
