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.
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.

Bringing together a distinguished group of artists from Galicia and across Spain, this programme offers an open, critical and diverse exploration of the multiple expressions and trajectories of contemporary performance art.

I met Misha approximately a decade ago and was able to have a very meaningful conversation with him. I admire both his work and his attitude, the superhuman depth of his research and his intuitive sense of the world.
