ARTISTIC CATCHUP GROUP 21 – 27 October, opening Tues22 @ 6pm. Artists talk Sunday 27th 22pm

The Artistic Catchup Group is a collective of some 20 emerging artists from the Greater Western and Blue Mountains area.

The group first met up at the beginning of 2019 under the guidance and mentorship of former head of painting and drawing, Shadee Selim. It was his vision to bring former students and like-minded people together and create a dynamic environment in which all could be inspired to start their visual arts practice once again.

Together, the group has worked hard, inspiring and encouraging one another and building on this vision to create a strong group of creatives, each working on their own ideas and themes, developing their own unique style. The result is a large collection of visual artworks that celebrate courage and commitment, talent and diversity.

It is with great pleasure that we share this diverse and exciting range of works with all those who visit TAP Gallery.

We warmly invite you to view works on exhibition from Monday 21st until Sunday 27th October, 2019.

PUT OUT THE FIRE – Debbie Nankervis opened Tuesday, 1 October 2019 from 18:00-20:00

Solo Exhibition by Debbie Nankervis

Join us for opening drinks Tuesday October 1st in The White Room for the hottest event this side of El Niño, celebrating the Golden Anniversary of Sister Cities Sydney and San Francisco.

As we begin the second half of the century of this liaison between the two cities, we are reminded of the relationship that exists between sisters that is forged over time, the sacrifices that are made, and the bonds that keep them working together as a team, despite distances that keep them apart.

The sisterhood was never more discernible than when the Suffragettes fought for women’s rights more than a hundred years ago. It is vital we acknowledge their achievements, and not let their hard work fall by the wayside into complacency and acceptance.

The images of fire hydrants in this exhibition represent strength of character from the ground up, working individually towards a common goal of safety, solidarity, and selfless service. Although visually different on both sides of the Pacific, they still value respect and equal rights.

It is important to remember the courage firefighters face and the risks they take to save lives and protect property.
