Painting in the Park – Manet’s Water Lilies
Join us and the artists for an afternoon of Talks by the artists, pleasant company and conversations.
Thursday 21st May marked the 31st Anniversary of Australia’s largest Art “non” Event – Real Refuses -where artists not selected for the ARCHIBALD, WYNNE, SULMAN Art Prizes exhibit their work at TAP Gallery in Surry Hlls 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!)
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.)
ON VIEW 19- 31 May, 12-6pm Daily
