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 3 July 2026 | Still life drawing with James Lynch

Ladder, plinth, roller 2016 by James Lynch

Join us for the next iteration of Analog Art Club, a dynamic creative experience led by artist and TarraWarra Museum of Art curator, James Lynch. Over the course of this immersive two-hour workshop, participants will be introduced to the foundations of still life drawing through a distinctly contemporary lens. Drawing on a selection of behind-the-scenes materials and studio tools as source material, Lynch will facilitate an exploratory environment that invites experimentation, embraces diverse approaches, and foregrounds the pleasure of making. This hands-on, tactile session focuses on drawing with charcoal, pastel, and watercolour on paper, encouraging a sensitive engagement with surface, form, and composition. Participants will develop a series of works while deepening their understanding of structure, colour, and visual perception, leaving with both a body of drawings and a renewed appreciation for the expressive potential of still life.

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.
