TULCA Festival of Visual Arts

TULCA Festival of Art has run annually since 2002 and is an artist-centered festival of contemporary art that works with Irish curators to present innovative exhibitions across the city and County of Galway, Ireland.

2017 dates: 3 - 19 November

Tulca aims to create a meeting point in Galway in the field of visual arts between artists from various cultures and the audience. The festival over the passed eleven years has enabled the formation of an international cultural network between local and international art circles, artists, curators and art critics.

Artists’ projects are selected through invitation and through a national and international open call for proposals. Exhibitions take place in both gallery and non-gallery spaces, featuring projects and events across urban and regional contexts. A programme of talks, workshops and events accompanies the exhibitions and provides further opportunities for audiences to engage.
