TAP has not only provided an exhibition space for visual artists, it has also supported the performing arts featuring contemporary dance events and given fresh Sydney play writes there first showing. Many experimental burlesque shows have been staged at TAP, as well as film, poetry & songwriting. You will witness some of these amazing & talented performers that have graced TAP Gallery on the TAPESTRY Night, TAP's 21st Birthday supper show.
