TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2027

TAP Gallery The Artist’s Paradise

Now taking bookings for 2027

In three decades TAP has become one of Sydney’s best-known visual arts spaces. In that time we’ve helped a diverse spectrum of artists showcase their works, with notable Australian talent.

We’d like to pay our respects to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation on which our gallery stands.

The Artists’ Paradise, TAP Art Gallery, is one of Sydney’s longest-running artist-run spaces, set in the Surry Hills area of Sydney. Established in 1990, it’s been at the heart and soul of Sydney’s burgeoning art scene for three decades, with regularly changing exhibits with the chance to meet and talk to the artists about their work. Its entirely uncurated open approach means that it gives artists of all genres a chance to exhibit or perform their work, making it one of the most exciting galleries to visit in Sydney. Many artists have had their first show at TAP& moved on to reputable awards such as the Archibald & Portia Geach.

TAP stages many Annual art prizes giving artists of all abilities a chance to show their artwork

TAP Gallery hosts the following Art Prize Exhibitions annually:

February-March Mardi Gras – Outloud –  During Sydney Mardi Gras month. 8th March International Women’s Day Art Prize-  open to all female artists. June Pride  Art Prize-  during the PRIDE Festival Sydney June Real Refuses  – Rejects from the Archibald, Wynne & Sulman in the Art Gallery of NSW May Pyrmont Art Prize with food & wine festival November Head On – Nudes on TAP Photography Prize-  in conjunction with the HEADON Photo Festival and each year TAP will be Calling for Artists to enter their artworks.

Drawing classes are held on Mondays & any one is welcome to attend. Simply bring your own sketch pad & charcoals. Different professional artists models pose for the art class each week.

The painting classes are held on Fridays.

Painting the Nude Art Classes on Friday Night are rewarding guided classes featuring a live professional nude artist model. All art materials are supplied including acrylic paint & canvas. You are guided by Lesley Dimmick BFA, OAM to completion with your very own artwork to take home. The class is set in a welcoming art gallery environment with changing exhibitions on display. The event is suitable for beginners to advanced and you can bring drinks & nibbles along. Many attendees come back again and this class comes highly recommended. This event is a great idea for celebrating birthdays or hen’s events and if you can muster your own group of 10 or more you can choose another night such as Saturday evening to hold your very own special night.

Unlock your creative spirit & let go of the working week with a rewarding & fun evening painting or drawing. You can BUY A GIFT CARD for a special friend or loved one to attend the classes held every Monday & Friday evening at 7pm.

TAP Gallery has contributed much to the arts community in Sydney for the last 36 years. It has gained a respected reputation and developed a strong community not only within the visual arts, but also the performing arts. It is a vibrant welcoming space for beginners & established artists. Bring a friend, a new romantic interest or just come alone. You will feel at home. Wine & nibbles are also complimentary at the art openings. Come and meet interesting people. Subscribe to our free newsletter on line. You are always most welcome to come to TAP Gallery.
