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.

This project was created with the aim of providing, through contemporary art, a space for learning, creativity, and motivation for children and young people undergoing hospitalisation.
Hospital classrooms are educational services that allow children and young people to continue their schooling while admitted to hospital, offering both pedagogical and emotional support.
Few topics are as transversal and present in education, art, and life as identity. This edition of Art in the Classroom invites participants to reflect on what defines, distinguishes, and unites us, to discover artistic references, and to explore identity through the tools of visual arts.
Urban planning and contemporary architecture remain among the great unknowns of the city of Santiago de Compostela. The aim of this activity is to encourage citizens to go beyond monumental Compostela and to walk, discover and enjoy an architectural landscape that is contemporary and constantly evolving.
On this occasion, and in response to public demand, we are reissuing several architecture routes carried out in recent years.
The aim of this programme is to promote and facilitate a dialogue between the public and contemporary art using yoga as a tool for mediation.
Over the course of this year, we’ll be holding a series of yoga sessions structured around and inspired by exhibitions by artists such as Carlos Pazos, Lluís Hortalà, Alexandra Ranner or Jannis Kounellis.
Through movement, improvisation and collective creation, in this eight-session dance laboratory we’ll question the ways we inhabit everyday spaces: public buildings, squares, streets, walls, and forgotten corners of the city. We’ll explore the spaces designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira in the CGAC and other forms of urban architecture.
In these educational sessions, we will present a slideshow with images of different contemporary works of art, focusing on the diversity of supports, materials, discourses and visions, and the expressive and experimental possibilities of contemporary art. We will combine the slideshow with creative dynamics aimed at the students.
The CGAC offers free guided tours of its temporary exhibitions, from Tuesday to Friday, and from 11 am to 1 pm.
The purpose of this service is to stimulate public interest in contemporary creation and to encourage communication between the spectator and the works of art.
O obxectivo desta actividade é achegar a arte contemporánea aos centros educativos e estimular o interese das novas xeracións pola creación artística do seu tempo.
The aim of this activity is to stimulate children's interest in contemporary artistic creation and to get them to learn by experimenting with art.
