Analog Salon # 8

Home and work feed our routines. A third space feeds our soul.

Third spaces—places that aren’t home or work—are vital community anchors. They’re where neighbors become friends and creativity grows. They give us room to breathe, to connect, and to be more than just what we do or where we sleep.

Analog Salon is our third space in Denver. It’s a monthly vinyl listening party where music, memory, creativity, and connection all meet under one roof. Hosted at the Posner Center for International Development, Analog Salon invites people to unplug, slow down, and share space through the rich, nostalgic crackle of vinyl and the honesty of personal storytelling.

Each Analog Salon unfolds in three intentional phases:

• Social Mixer & DJ Sets (6:00–7:00 PM)
  Arrive to a room full of groove-worthy vinyl, drinks, and good energy. Local DJs spin genre-crossing, vinyl-only sets to warm up the room and encourage curiosity and conversation.
• Storytelling Through Music (7:00–8:00 PM)
  We welcome a featured guest—someone with a story to tell and a record to match. It’s storytelling through soundscape, where the tracks that shaped their life become windows into shared humanity.
• Chill Vibes & Marketplace (8:00–9:00 PM)
  As the night winds down, guests mingle and browse our rotating Analog Marketplace—a place for local creators to showcase books, vinyl, zines, art, and more.

Analog Salon exists to foster creativity, collaboration, and community engagement. It brings together Denver’s curious and creative spirits to celebrate music’s power to inspire and transform. In a world saturated by algorithms and isolation, Analog Salon offers something different: a space built on human presence, mutual listening, and cultural nourishment.

None of this happens alone. We’re lucky to work with partners who believe in the value of third spaces and the power of gathering: CoCreate, Cross-Pollinate Consulting, FM, Birdy Magazine, Posner Center for International Development, Twist and Shout, and KGNU

Let’s keep showing up, together.

Andrew Novick | Director, Artist, Collector, Curator

Andrew Novick was born in Denver and is an avid collector who has a career that either informs or is counter to his artistic practice. By day, he's an electrical engineer with the Time and Frequency Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) based in Boulder, CO, where he compares atomic clocks at nanosecond levels all over the world. As an artist, he is deeply involved in popular culture, both as a consumer and contributor. Andrew has performed in bands (Warlock Pinchers, Scramblehead), held art shows (photography, collections and installations), and ‘performed’ PowerPoint presentations under the moniker GetYourGoing at concerts. He also runs themed public events such as PeepsBQ, Andrew Novick’s X-Treme Pancake Breakfast, Japanese Medical Punk Dance Party and Surgery Dinner. Andrew has been called the “world’s most recreational photographer,” snapping photos to fit into the countless themes of his visual vernacular. 

 His obsession with collecting objects and ephemera has been showcased in several exhibitions and covered in local and national press.  Andrew directed a feature-length documentary about collecting and the significance of physical objects, told through an artifact that once belonged to JonBenet Ramsey. The film, JonBenet’s Tricycle, discusses tragedy, pop culture and our society’s obsession with unsolved true crimes. It premiered at the Denver Film Festival and received coverage in The Huffington Post, Forbes, Westword and GQ Magazine.
