Analog Fair 2025

Conceived from a place of curiosity and experimentation, Analog Fair started as an “offline” festival. No social media, no online presence. While we aren’t anti-phone, our goal is to bring artists, creatives, and makers face-to-face. During a time where creating these bonds is absolutely vital to our survival, Analog Fair makes space to slow down, and cultivate something deeper and more resilient. We invite you to put away your phone, engage the senses, and bring mindful focus to the arts and people around you.

This year's festival will be hosted by PAR-Projects, an artist-led organization with a mission to empower diverse communities of people who believe in the arts. We’re thrilled to expand our lineup of artists and vendors, adding shadow puppets, comedy, tintype portraits, live painting, and more. We invite you to come and enjoy an evening of live music, craft, curiosity, and community.

P.S. Don’t miss our free poetry event on May 16 in collaboration with Domestic Waters at Conveyor Belt Books!

MORE ABOUT OUR HOST

PAR-Projects is an artist-led organization with a mission to empower diverse communities of people who believe in the arts. As educators, we provide workshops & eight-week classes, related to career development & skills training. As working artists, we enjoy hosting thought provoking exhibits & large scale collaborations throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

PAR-Projects is currently in the midst of a major community development project in Northside, Cincinnati, that is transforming 3/4 of an acre of blighted land into a contemporary arts & education center. Within their campus they currently host a fine art gallery and a number of creativity-focused artist studios. In the coming months they will open their outdoor performance stage and outdoor movie theater. In the coming year or two, they will be opening a second gallery space and creating an outdoor venue, truly designed to give their communities a place to gather.
