This programme aims to connect schools with contemporary art and to encourage young people’s engagement with the artistic practices of their time.
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.

We live at a time when music is everywhere, yet we no longer really listen to it. Digital platforms have fragmented the listening experience into isolated pieces, optimised for short attention spans and continuous playback. Listening Club aims to reclaim deep listening as a collective experience.

A striking paradox hangs over 20th-century art (and indeed 21st-century art too): the 20th century is the most unpopular and yet the most popular of all centuries. However, the lack of understanding surrounding contemporary creative processes in music is not unique to these last two centuries, but rather a historical phenomenon.

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.
