PATRICK GRIFFIN

“A joint show with the legend of the Tap Gallery Surry hills, Lesley Dimmick, I shall be showing my heart filled work of the movement that I originated in London 8 years ago and is still running today. This was an amazing journey into the generosity of fine people who all donated their time and talents to bring about a charity to help folks suffering from mental health issues. All money Patrick Griffin & Lesley Dimmick - Duo Exhibition - TAP Gallery raised is donated to MIND through our charity. I was the official photographer for all music šŸŽµ and Art exhibitions for OutsiderArt London. I hope that the fine folks of Sydney town get something out of this special evening. Tap Gallery Surry hills on Wednesday 10th December from 6 until 9. Looking forward to seeing you all on the night.”

The Australian Cultural Fund is an online fundraising platform for the Australian arts and cultural sector, administered by Creative Australia. 

Through the Australian Cultural Fund, artists and arts organisations run short-term campaigns for specific projects or register annual giving campaigns to support ongoing work and general operating costs.  

Donations over $2 received via the Australian Cultural Fund are tax deductible. There are no fees to fundraise or distribute funds through the Australian Cultural Fund, which means that 100% of donations and philanthropic grants go directly to artists and arts organisations.  

Donors and philanthropists

Donors can use the Australian Cultural Fund to preference a gift to artists and organisations that do not have Deductible Gift Registry (DGR) status and receive a tax deduction for their generosity. 

Trusts and foundations 

For trusts and foundations, the Australian Cultural Fund runs a special initiative called Amplify, which allows foundations to distribute to recipients who do not have Deductible Gift Registry (DGR) status. This provides flexible models for multi-year funding and comprehensive administration and grant-making support.

ā€œCafunĆ©ā€ is a word of Brazilian Portuguese origin, meaning to gently run your fingers through someone’s hair. 

While society has lost many of the restrictive views of sex between consenting adults, sometimes we have lost the ability to find simple affection between people we care about. 

Physical contact has been shown to have healing qualities. In hospitals there are programs called “cuddle mums”, where people (they don’t have to be women)  hold or cuddle premature babies, if their own family are unable to. Human contact can help a newborn thrive in a way that simple medical intervention and care cannot. 

In most cities there are clubs or locations that can easily facilitate sexual activity, but the same cannot be said for finding a person to give you a hug when you need it.  There are apps where you can connect with someone to come to your home to f&%K, but none exist that help you connect with a person to snuggle on the couch, eating popcorn and binge watching. 

These works explore the healing power of affection and the importance of physical contact with no hidden agenda – other than to let people know that they are important just as they are.

The exhibition will run from 10th – 16th November, open 12-6pm each day. 

Opening night will be on Tuesday, 11 November, from 7-9pm. 

In conjunction with hEAd oN Photo Festival.
