To help both the FireFighters and the defenseless wildlife, Tap Gallery is holding a fundraising Art Auction this Sat at 5pm.

Entitled ""Artists to the Rescue" the Gallery will be taking submitted artwork from artists right up until Fri 24Jan 5pm. Artists are asked on registration to pay a reduced admin fee ($10 per artwork) and to donate a percentage eg 50 to 100% of the final sale to NSWfirefighters or WIRES.

On Sat the 25Jan, following a lowkey 4pm doors open, the fundraising begins with a live Art Auction and a silent auction operating in tandem. The live auction uses the classic model of registered bidders complete with paddles and pro Auctioneer.

Canapes and other finger food, plus a heavily subsidised bar are made possible by the generosity of our sponsors Emilia Pasta, Hotel Hollywood, Sydney Brewery, and Hotel Harrys is providing a 1 night getaway inc food/drinks as 1st prize in a $3p/tkt raffle draw.

Entertainment follows the Auction with Caberet Drag and Chanteuse Singing acts planned. Entry to the event is FREE, and artworks are on display at TapGallery prior to & including the auction night. We are hoping for an excellent turnout and spirited bidding so 'Artists to the Rescue' supports as many people and wildlife as possible!

About Tap Gallery

The Artists' Paradise, or TAP for short, is one of Sydney's longest-running artist-run spaces, also set in the Surry Hills area of Sydney. Established in 1989, it's been at the heart and soul of Sydney's burgeoning art scene for three decades, with regularly changing exhibits and the chance to talk to the artists about their work. Its entirely uncurated approach means that it's open to artists of all genres to exhibit or perform their work, making it one of the most exciting galleries to visit in Sydney.12489432_1953755178183371_8389328960948235260_o

TAP Gallery is an open-policy community art space providing a platform for all artists and community groups to voice their message.

TAP provides opportunity for these groups to have a voice, gain invaluable experience for the future and opportunities to raise funds.
