We are one week into Tulca Festival of Visual Arts 2010, Living on the Edge; People, Place & Possibility curated by Michelle Browne. For a full look at the programme and a full list of this year’s artists visit www.tulca.ie

We are just seven days into this year’s Tulca Festival of Visual Arts but there has been quite a few highlights already. The weather has been a temperamental mistress. She gave us blue sunny skies for the Bbeyond performance last Saturday but then a storm hit us so hard that we were hit for six! We like to call this “Tulca Weather”.

Bbeyond perform “Freedom” at the Spanish Arch, November 6th 2010.

Tulca 2010 was officially launched by Maeve Mulrennan, Chairperson of Tulca and Michelle Browne, Tulca 2010 Curator at the Galway Arts Centre.
