POSTPONED ARCHIBALD, SULMAN & WYNNE – REAL REFUSES 18 – 29 MAY.

POSTPONED

Real Refuses

THE DEMOCRATIC ARCHIBALD PRIZE !
ALL WORKS GUARANTEED TO BE HUNG!!

Saturday 23 May marks the 24TH Anniversary of Australia’s largest Art  Event – Real Refuses – where artists not selected for the ARCHIBALD, WYNNE, SULMAN, and DOUG MORAN Art Prizes exhibit their work at TAP Gallery in SURRY HILLS 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!

Sydney University have estimated more than 480 million animals have died in Australia since September, as a result of the bushfires.

WIRES

To help the NSW wildlife victims, you can donate to the NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES) here.

Port Macquarie Koala Hospital

More than 2000 koalas are feared to have perished in NSW since September.

The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital have raised more than $2 million for the wildlife affected in that area, with the initial aim of using the money to distribute automatic drinking stations in the burnt areas to help in koala and wildlife survival.

The organisation are now sharing the funds with other wildlife organisations in the fire affected regions across NSW. You can donate here.

Where can you donate?

For those with money to give, donations to the Salvation Army, the Australian Red Cross and state-based brigades like the NSW Rural Fire Service will go towards bushfire relief.

Red Cross acting chief executive officer Noel Clement said the organisation’s joint disaster donation drive with the ABC raised more than $10 million.

You can donate to support Red Cross’ disaster relief and recovery work here.

People overseas are also able to donate through the channel.
