For the past 22 years TAP Gallery has hosted the REAL REFUSES
Not every one can get hung in the AGNSW but you can be hung at TAP GALLERY.
If we encourage each other every year one of us will get hung at some time in our artistic life.
Being hung in the AGNSW is a prestigious achievement. Never give up!!
Calling all artists not selected for the ARCHIBALD, WYNNE & SULMAN – you are invited to submit your work for THE 22ND REAL REFUSES! Presentations Sat 26 May 5pm
Real Refuses:
THE DEMOCRATIC ARCHIBALD PRIZE !
ALL WORKS GUARANTEED TO BE HUNG!!
Saturday 26 May marks the 22nd Anniversary of Australia’s largest Art “non” Event – Real Refuses – where artists not selected for the ARCHIBALD, WYNNE, SULMAN, and DOUG MORAN Art Prizes exhibit their work at TAP Gallery in Darlinghurst 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!
