And that’s not all…

As an extra-special, extra-delicious cherry on top, this event will also launch Archer Magazine #21: the ART issue.

This exclusive edition is a visual love letter to our community and our history: a textural, intimate and playful collection. The finest of retrospectives – with new and incredible additions – will feel like slipping back into bed with a former lover. Archer’s ART issue captures and celebrates a decade’s worth of underrepresented bodies, stories and expressive identities.

Come for the hotties, stay for the highlights. ART is Archer’s collectible photobook of beauty and reverence from beyond the mainstream.

Whether you’re a longtime reader, contributor, art lover or new flame, come join us for our most ambitious event yet, as we mark our evolution into the creative agency space, and the launch of our ART issue!

Stay tuned on our Instagram for a juicy sneak peek into Archer Magazine #21: the ART issue, including our cover reveal.

We acknowledge our event will take place on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to Indigenous elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be.

Archer events are safer spaces. This means that upon entry, folks agree to work actively against homophobia, racism, transphobia, classism, fatphobia, ableism, and other forms of oppressive behaviour. Please let someone from the Archer team know if this safety isn’t upheld.

This is a masked event. We will have air purifiers running in the venue throughout the event. Free RATs, masks and sanitisers will be made available for all attendees. We request mask-wearing for those who are able. We request that ticketholders test before attending, and please stay home if you are feeling unwell or showing symptoms.

The venue is wheelchair accessible. The venue entry is on the ground floor, where there are accessible bathrooms. Lift access is available for the lower ground gallery space, where the event will be held. There will be a low-sensory chillout space.

If you have any specific access requirements, general questions, or adjustments that may help you feel comfortable, please get in touch with us by emailing info@archermagazine.com.au.
