Exhibition Agreement

  TAP 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 a 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 labor 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.
