Tulca Festival of Visual Arts Presents The Salvage Agency

Until 17th November @ Galway Arts Centre

The Salvage Agency considers the agency and role of art in contemporary ecology and environmental action. Michele Horrigan notes “Galway, on the edge of the northeast Atlantic, is a unique location for a heightened awareness of what is at stake. Explorations of landscape, seascape and nature, public space, colonial history, political structures, the industrial complex and folk narratives are all pertinent. These are paths taken by our collective society in the shaping of today’s world and a contemporary Europe.

Ceramics In Nature

Until 30th November @ Nuns Island Theatre

This exhibition is the result of explorations in clay sculpture with ceramic artist Tatiana Dobos collaborating with a group of That’s Life art makers, Nathan Murray, Uday Dufani, AnneMarie Whyte, Darragh Shaughnessy, Colm Biggins, Gerard Holian and Leah Connolly, along with That’s Life Art Facilitator Peter Casby.

As part of this exhibition you will have the chance to use some clay and contribute to a collective piece that will remain in the exhibition for its duration.

Paintings and Ceramics by Mary Fuller

Until 9th November @ Kava Kinvara

This exhibition of paintings and ceramics by local artist Mary Fuller presents a selection of new and older works from her collection.
She is influenced by literary sources including Goethe’s, ‘The Green snake and the Beautiful Lilly’, woven textiles, religious icons and ancient cuneiform text.
Her paintings are built up in layers, developed through an intuitive process using mostly watercolours, inks and gold to create transparency and luminosity.
Her work explores themes of excavation and discovery, looking beneath the surface to find the traces that remain.

Farrell & Farrell

Until 19th November @ Kennys Bookshop and Gallery

A special dual exhibition of new Galway pastels and copper sculptures by Patsy Farrell and Gay Farrell. Patsy Farrell and Gay Farrell, native Galwegians and brothers, are self-taught artists who began their journey by experimenting with wood and metal. Their partnership in a garage business and shared love for creating have led to extraordinary works.
