UNSEEN – AN EXHIBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHY 13th-19th JULY

UNSEEN

AN EXHIBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHY 13TH – 19TH JULY 2026

UNSEEN explores what lies beyond immediate visibility-what is unnoticed, unspoken, or overlooked. Through conceptual photography, we observe absence, residue, and the peripheral, where meaning emerges through inference and reflection. Here, seeing becomes an active process, and the unseen is understood not as its opposite, but as its extension.

We bring together a wonderful collection by Korean artists, Ben CS Byun, Cecilia Kim, Estelle Haejung Moon, Julia Kim, Kenny Kim and Roy Lee

JOIN US FOR THEIR OPENING FUNCTION ON TUESDAY 14TH JULY AT 6 PM.

Pride Art Prize 2026

TAP Gallery - Pride Art Prize 2026

Sydney Pride Festival 2026.

“Connected In Colour.”

To All Community Partners and Event Producers – Be part of Sydney Pride Festival 21st – 30th June 2026.

This year’s theme, “Connected in Colour,” celebrates the strength, diversity, and unity of our LGBTQIA+ community. 2026 also marks a major milestone, 15 years of Sydney Pride as a month-long festival, highlighting its growth into one of Sydney’s most important celebrations of culture, visibility, and connection. The festival will feature a vibrant mix of drag, theatre, live music, art, community events, forums, and fundraisers. We also honour the legacy of the 78ers of the first Sydney Mardi Gras and the impact of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, recognising the history that continues to shape Pride today.

“Connected in Colour is about celebrating the threads that tie us together as a community. No matter our differences, we are united by Pride.”

Glenn Hansen, co-ordinator, Sydney Pride Festival.

PATRICK GRIFFIN

“A joint show with the legend of the Tap Gallery Surry hills, Lesley Dimmick, I shall be showing my heart filled work of the movement that I originated in London 8 years ago and is still running today. This was an amazing journey into the generosity of fine people who all donated their time and talents to bring about a charity to help folks suffering from mental health issues. All money Patrick Griffin & Lesley Dimmick - Duo Exhibition - TAP Gallery raised is donated to MIND through our charity. I was the official photographer for all music 🎵 and Art exhibitions for OutsiderArt London. I hope that the fine folks of Sydney town get something out of this special evening. Tap Gallery Surry hills on Wednesday 10th December from 6 until 9. Looking forward to seeing you all on the night.”
