About Tulca Contemporary Visual Arts Festival
Tulca Visual Arts Festival aims to bring well known contemporary visual arts to Galway. As well as this it seeks to create a platform for local and national artists giving them an opportunity to exhibit their work alongside well known artists. The works that are selected are often chosen with a particular theme in mind. The festival looks to engage audience members, it looks to create questions and at times controversy. The company is largely funded by the Arts Council and local sponsorship, it is a non for profit company. Kerry Guinan is the curator of this year's TULCA Festival of Visual Art
