  "textContent": "On the last Sunday of the month, Apollo Fermentations, a locally owned kombucha joint, hosts Analog Sunday with artist Kinta McGhee. Participants can grab scissors, glue, magazines and other paper ephemera, snag a 'booch from the bar, and collage to their heart’s content.\n\nRecently I tried it out myself alongside more than 30 other collage-makers. McGhee provided everything we needed to make a one-of-a-kind piece of art.\n\nSHOUT contributor Shelly Walston (at right) attended the most recent Analog Sunday with her wife Mallory Rine. __Photo by Hannah Crickman for The SHOUT__.\n\n“I love the vibe (of Apollo Fermentations), and I wanted to host something that was accessible to all, that gave people a chance to put their phones away and try something,” said McGhee, who is herself a collage artist. “We started up after Thanksgiving last year as a way for people to have something to do, a place to gather without their phones..”\n\nAt Analog Sunday, participants can collage to their heart's content using a variety of materials provided by organizer Kinta McGhee. __Photo by Hannah Crickman for The SHOUT__.-\n\nMcGhee put out magazines and cutting mats, and participants chose from old photographs, stamps and flashcards. By the end of the afternoon, clippings and discarded items sprinkled the tables and floors.\n\n“I think collage is a welcoming and forgiving kind of art, and that’s why it appeals to me. Plus, she provides literally everything we need,” said Jena James, who has attended every Analog Sunday event.\n\nMore than 30 people showed up for the third Analog Sunday at Apollo Fermentations. __Photo by Hannah Crickman for The SHOUT.__\n\nAnalog Sundays are open to all ages, and the events are free — although participants can make a cash or Venmo donation. The only rule: no cell phones. McGhee provided a camera linked to Snap Social, a traveling photo project that uploads images to Instagram without participants having to use their own phones.\n\n“This is my first time attending Analog Sunday,” Alyson Assaf said. “I just love the idea of community here, and there’s an atmosphere of warmth. There’s just something about people getting together to do a craft that appealed to me.”\n\nCollage is a \"forgiving kind of art,\" said one regular Analog Sunday attendee. __Photo by Hannah Crickman for The SHOUT.__\n\nThe next Analog Sunday is scheduled for February 22 at 1 p.m. Events at Apollo Fermentations are accessible to people with physical disabilities.\n\n_— Shelly Walston is an educator, reader, writer, and collector of commemorative state plates._\n\nVinyl from The Record Ship complements Analog Sunday's throwback vibe. __Photo by Hannah Crickman for The SHOUT.__ Mader takes a photo with a Snap Social camera (non-digital, of course). __Photo by Hannah Crickman for The SHOUT.__\n\n****This article was originally published in our newsletter.
