For yet another year the CGAC is collaborating with the University of Santiago de Compostela in the Nerd Nites programme. During Nerd Nites, guests can chat with the public about the disciplines they are passionate about, in a relaxed tone and in a non-academic environment. The conversations are about literature, politics, medicine, mathematics, biology, art, etc. They are directed by experts in the fields and their prerequisite is simplicity…
Activities
The CGAC's Activities and Pedagogical Department develops its programme with a primary goal: to bring art to society through the rigorous analysis of critical issues inherent in contemporary artistic activity.
Film seasons and conferences, workshops, seminars and concerts, make up the centre’s fundamental offer of activities, aiming to involve a wide range of audiences from the professional sector of the world of art and culture to an increasingly larger group of artists and fine art and history students, not to mention all those interested in the evolution of art and aesthetic reflection.
At the same time, the CGAC develops specific programmes for schools and colleges as well as guided tours, with the purpose of providing the various groups who come to the museum with the necessary tools to understand contemporary art and, from there, the world we live in.
