Across all TULCA Galleries
10-22 November 2026
9am-4pm
The TULCA Education Team is pleased to offer a series of gallery tours for third-level academic groups as part of TULCA 2026. These tours offer students and educators an opportunity to engage with contemporary art through focused discussion of selected works and the wider ideas explored across the festival.
Using Visual Thinking Strategies, the tours facilitate inclusive, learner-centred discussions that prioritise viewer interpretations over traditional information delivery. This approach encourages critical thinking and conversation through the shared experience of exploring art.
Worksheets will be available for participating groups, with reflective exercises and practical activities that can be taken back to the classroom or studio.
Group bookings for third-level institutions are available during weekdays, with tours running every hour from 9am to 4pm. The tour duration is approximately 45 minutes. Advance booking is required and subject to availability.
