ANNUAL ART PRIZES

TAP Gallery promotes several annual art prizes each year. These include prizes and awards supported by Amnesty International, the Kings Cross Arts Guild, and several Environmental organisations. As well as Judge's Awards for many of the prizes, TAP Gallery likes to keep things open to the people, so we always include a democratic People's Choice Prize.
