POSTPONED

Real Refuses

THE DEMOCRATIC ARCHIBALD PRIZE !
ALL WORKS GUARANTEED TO BE HUNG!!

Saturday 23 May marks the 24TH Anniversary of Australia’s largest Art  Event – Real Refuses – where artists not selected for the ARCHIBALD, WYNNE, SULMAN, and DOUG MORAN Art Prizes exhibit their work at TAP Gallery in SURRY HILLS to win the popular “People’s Choice Award”, selected by the public on the night.

Real Refuses has become firmly established as part of the “Archibald Season”.

While it is an exhibition of rejected artwork, it is much more than that…

It is about giving a fair go to all the artists involved in Australia’s largest art events.

Not everyone can win an Archibald but here everyone can exhibit along side their peers. (You’ll find past winners of Australia’s biggest art prizes here as well!)

In the past an extraordinary range of subjects have been shown, from musicians, actors, politicians including the NSW Premier, Mayor of Willoughby, Anthony Mundeen, Tony Abbott, Leo Sawyer, the then Prime Minister John Howard, Madame Lash, Elizabeth Cummings, Professor Bruce James Brew, and Jaiwei, (a winner of the Sulman.)

We can’t wait to see the works not selected this year!

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY ART PRIZE – Inviting artists to enter.

Calling for Submissions –

Art Prize Presentations – Saturday 7 March 3pm

Judging will be Ms Crawford, curator of Robin Gibson Gallery.

There will be a  Presentation by  MAUREEN REYNOLDS (of Mor-Mor Mungo  Mutthi-Mutthi Creations), an Aboriginal Mutthi-Mutthi elder born in Balranald, Western New South Wales, Australia.  Maureen is currently Advisory to the World Heritage Committee and also Aboriginal Advisory to the Minister and Cabinet.

Her art is her spiritual link to her Mungo Mutthi-Mutthi Sacred Lady of the Lake, which dates back beyond 30,000 years.  This link inspires her to create spiritual drawings, paintings and stories that show her Spiritual Ancestors who lived in Love, Peace and Harmony for over 40,000 years.
