Announcing the winners of the PYRMONT ART PRIZE 2018

CONGRATULATIONS 

TO THE PRIZE WINNER PYRMONT ART PRIZE 2018

We would like to thank the sponsors

Bendigo Bank

Metro Aspire Hotels

Derivan

Below are the winners

Here are some pix of the glorious but windy 2 days. We bought a beautiful white tent on line, which we set up on Friday, that blew away on the night with the wind tragically, so the plan of an outdoor gallery then became displaying the art on furniture!!!! Never the less it was a special weekend and images of the winners will come soon!

The kids form the local International Grammar School contributed some fantastic artwork. Parents & children came down to see. I know the teacher is really great because the artwork was amazing and the kids were so proud.!

There were some wonderful paintings on display & we sold too.

A new wonderful addition was the outdoor painting class both days hosted by artist Vee Malnar who represents PAINTED UP SYDNEY. Looking forward to next year! start painting your one foot square artworks & get involved in this wonderful community art festival.

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!

TAP GALLERY, 259 Riley St Surry Hills (please note we have moved)
