Pride Art Prize 2026

TAP Gallery - Pride Art Prize 2026

Sydney Pride Festival 2026.

“Connected In Colour.”

To All Community Partners and Event Producers – Be part of Sydney Pride Festival 21st – 30th June 2026.

This year’s theme, “Connected in Colour,” celebrates the strength, diversity, and unity of our LGBTQIA+ community. 2026 also marks a major milestone, 15 years of Sydney Pride as a month-long festival, highlighting its growth into one of Sydney’s most important celebrations of culture, visibility, and connection. The festival will feature a vibrant mix of drag, theatre, live music, art, community events, forums, and fundraisers. We also honour the legacy of the 78ers of the first Sydney Mardi Gras and the impact of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, recognising the history that continues to shape Pride today.

“Connected in Colour is about celebrating the threads that tie us together as a community. No matter our differences, we are united by Pride.”

Glenn Hansen, co-ordinator, Sydney Pride Festival.

REJECTS FROM THE ARCHIBALD WYNNE & SULMAN – The Real Refuses Artists’ Talk Saturday 30th May 4pm

Real Refuses Show 2026`

Real Refuses:  ARTISTS’ TALK

SATURDAY 30TH MAY @ 4 PM

Join us and the artists for an afternoon of Talks by the artists, pleasant company and conversations.

Thursday 21st May marked the 31st Anniversary of Australia’s largest Art “non” Event – Real Refuses -where artists not selected for the ARCHIBALD, WYNNE, SULMAN Art Prizes exhibit their work at TAP Gallery in Surry Hlls 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!)

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.)

International Women’s Day (IWD) has been around for over a hundred years, as have many of the issues still impacting women’s advancement. Since 1911, IWD belongs to all who care about gender equality. Celebrate women’s achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to forge gender parity. All IWD activity is valid, that’s what makes IWD so inclusive. Collaboration is key to advancing gender equality IWD is a global movement powered by collective effort. Looking to explore a potential collaboration? Get in touch.
International Women’s Day is powered by the collective efforts of all. Collective action and shared ownership for driving gender parity is what makes International Women’s Day impactful. Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist and activist reportedly once explained “The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.” So make International Women’s Day your day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women.
