Our Advanced Diploma of Fine Art students are making the final preparation for their end of year exhibition at TAP Gallery in Darlinghurst next week. This small group of dedicated students are taking on the job of mounting their own exhibition at one of Sydney's longest running artist-run spaces, TAP Gallery. Artist run initiatives (commonly known as ARIs) give valuable hands-on industry experience in all aspects of preparing for, and running a professional exhibition.They also leave the decision making and creative control firmly in the hands of the artists.

The group show, called 'Turning the TAP on', will showcase the work of Cole Barrett, Hilary Latta, Brenda Maccioni, Alaisdair McDonnell, Amanda Mayrhofer, Phillip Murray, Andy Petith and Helen Nairn.

The artists have made a website for the exhibition as part of their professional practice studies. A little about the show, and statements from each artist can be found at: http://www.turningthetapon.blogspot.com/

You are warmly invited to the opening event, which will be held at TAP Gallery, 278 Palmer St Darlinghurst at 7pm on Wednesday November 17 (see invitiation below). The opening address will be made by Anthony Bond OAM, Assistant Director, curatorial sevices, Art Gallery of NSW.
