TULCA 2025: Strange lands still bear common ground will run from 7th to 23rd November 2025 across multiple venues in Galway city and county.

The 23rd edition of the TULCA Festival of Visual Arts invites proposals from artists whose work orbits around themes of collectivity, binarism, solidarity, affinity, and exchange or whose work engages with these dynamics:
Within the landscape; if a border is a real or imagined line that separates one entity from another, or an island is an independent land-mass distinguished from the sea, when do such boundaries blur, shift, collapse, or merge?
Within our cultural imaginations, where historical or mythological affinities with others shape our configurations of ourselves.
Within and beyond our own borders, where Ireland, as an island nation divided into two, relates to its internal others.

TULCA aims to provide artists with the opportunity to connect and create. To promote the visual arts through educational workshops and performance activities. To encourage audiences of all ages to embrace the contemporary arts culture of Galway, Ireland and beyond.
