Tap is one of the most well-loved art galleries in Sydney and has nurtured the careers of numerous Australian artists like Andrew Logan, Carlos Barrios, Mark Hanham and James Powditch. It’s also boon for Sydneysiders who need entertaining; along with exhibitions, the gallery functions as a visual and performing arts centre, and there’s an exhaustive number of shows and events, from classes in life drawing, poetry and songwriting, to comedy and short film screenings on the ‘Caught Short’ evenings. There’s also a second-hand book library where you can pick up a well-thumbed novel, and a quirky-cool organic café in which to grab a bite.
