About The Event
TAP's Salon des Refusés is in the Main Gallery and LAB 203 from July 22 to August 15, 2026.

All are welcome to this free event.
Inspired by the 1863 exhibition of the same name, this exhibition highlights the important role rejection plays in finding audience, building resilience, and growing as an artist; and recognizes that rejection can feel exclusionary, disheartening, and disappointing. While sometimes challenging to face, rejection is an inherent and important part of the artistic process and an artist's career. At the suggestion of London artist Catherine Morrisey, TAP is hosting a Salon des Refusés to provide the opportunity for artists from London and the surround area to exhibit artwork that has been rejected elsewhere.
If you are interested in exhibiting, the call for submission is still open. Click here to see eligibility and submission requirements.
