The SPOTLIGHT Series is a program held in the Leigh Scott Room at the Baillieu Library, sharing specialist knowledge from invited guests, curators and archivists with a chosen display of artefacts currently part of the Archives and Special Collections.
This lunch time program is a generative hour created to pause and reflect on how we interpret history and its context through the lens of the items held within the Archives and Special Collections, housed at the Baillieu Library and the Archives repository and spanning 37kms in distance collectively.
Selected by archivists, librarians, curators, researchers, academics and artists every session will spotlight the wonder this ephemera holds alongside creating an informal space for engaging in critical conversations, reflective discussions, slow looking, creative workshops, talks and much more.

ABOUT ANALOG ART CLUB 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.
