We bring together visual artists, theatre companies, performances and arts education under one roof. As a registered charity we provide our space at affordable rental rates, so that artists and theatre groups can exhibit commission free. We exist to support this group of innovators, providing opportunities to affordably work, share, learn and exhibit while gaining feedback in order to grow, thereby enriching our community and attracting visitors to Downtown London.

TING EDITION Comic Jam
Join us for a special jam hosted by and Heroes Comics. To celebrate 10 years of Ting, this session will throw a challenge on the table asking jammers to use the number 10 or images in multiples of 10 from panel to panel.

You start by drawing the first panel and then slide it across the table and see what the next person adds to the story. Bring your favourite pencils and prepare to improvise!

This free event is suitable for the whole family. Monday May 11, 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

TING CONTEST! A peek at one of the Merle Tingley illustrations featured in the Gallery. Ting was editorial cartoonist for the London Free Press for over 40 years (1947-1986). His illustrations attracted a loyal following and his famous cartoon mascot, Luke Worm, is a widely recognized icon in the Canadian comic scene.

Luke Worm appeared in each editorial cartoon. Find Luke Worm in all 13 of the Ting illustrations here at TAP, validate your finds with a member of our team, and you will be eligible to enter the draw for a $50 Downtown Gift Card
