GALLERY EXHIBITIONS CONTRACT
 

 

TTAP Gallery is an open-policy, nonselective exhibition space providing artists the freedom of exhibiting   without the rigmarole of C.V. and portfolio appraisal. It can also be a steppingstone for emerging artists into        a commercial gallery. Many artists have firstly exhibited here then moved on to a commercial galleries stable. There have also been many established artists exhibiting who prefer the freedom of their own curatorial with an open-policy gallery such as TAP. Guest curators are also welcomed to use this facility for their own shows.

TAP INC. is an Incorporated Association (registered non - profit organisation with Dept of Fair Trading). The gallery is an much needed facility where the responsibility is entirely up to the artists. The artists contribute to the running costs including rent, electricity, maintenance and so on. All labour and services of the management committee is on an unpaid, voluntary basis. If you wish to support the gallery join and become a subscriber. There are many benefits. Applications are available at the front desk. SUPPORT THE ARTS!
