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.

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.

As part of the San Pedro neighbourhood’s annual festivities, the CGAC is once again presenting an engaging programme of activities. To mark the occasion, the museum is organising two collaborative creative workshops designed to accommodate a continuous flow of participants over a two-hour period. Visitors may complete one workshop and then take part in the other.

25 June 2026
5.30 p.m. - 8.30 p.m.

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. The selected works share a profound desire to explore the body, voice, language, memory and everyday life as spaces for thought and experience.

4 September 2025 - 21 June 2026

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.

In these face-to-face didactic sessions, that will take place at the CGAC, we’ll give a presentation with images of different types of contemporary museums.
