This year we were delighted to be able to welcome our learners back into the gallery space to facilitate in person Gallery Tours. This year, TULCA welcomed Primary, Secondary and Third level learners from Galway City and County. The tours were presented to the learners in a conversational format where information on the artwork was elicited from the viewer rather than lectured to them. The audience were encouraged to ask questions and share their thoughts in a safe space where all answers are celebrated.

Primary students were welcomed to the space to think creatively, to remember that an inquisitive mind is a celebrated thing. Secondary students with focus on the leaving certificate, were guided to consider the artwork in relation to its surrounding as well as its own. Carrying on the focus on professional practice, Education Officer Kate McSharry put her focus on third level tours, designed to aid students' understanding of requirements for submission to an exhibition such as TULCA.
