Art in the Garage has been Tulgeen's flagship creative arts program since its establishment in 2001.
It provides creative options for emerging artists with disability, with an extensive program of exhibitions, arts collaborations, presentations and public discussions, which help to build meaningful links to the wider community.
Art in the Garage began with the conversion of a domestic garage into a studio space for supported art making.
Since those humble beginnings the project has been able to expand and evolve through the employment of practicing artists as mentors and educators.
A core philosophy of nurturing individual creativity has produced a group of artists who make dynamic and original art works.
The project has had 25 highly acclaimed exhibitions for both the project collectively and for individual artists.
As true practicing artists, Art in the Garage artists are subject to commercially set commissions on art sales at exhibitions.
Works are priced to reflect this.
Art in the Garage has nurtured a number of artists with disability in achieving commercial success.
They are eminently collectible and have experienced sell out exhibitions in recent years
These include, but are not limited to, Miriam Kydd, Graeme Smith, Jeffrey Young and Graham Henkel.
