Activities

Soundpainting is 51 years old. And its creator, Walter Thompson, is returning to Compostela to be a part of the International Soundpainting Think Tank. On behalf of the Orquestra Galega de Liberación, the Suelen Estar Quartet will develop the practical and sound part of the event, making themselves available to the soundpainters in attendance to exemplify the themes addressed during the session.

This exhibition brings together a series of periodicals in different formats. Some are distributed free of charge and in inexpensive publishing formats, while others are facsimiles of magazines from the early 20th century.

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.

For another year running, the CGAC and the neighbourhood association A Xuntanza are collaborating on a programme of joint activities for the San Pedro neighbourhood festivities. This workshop offers an approach to the San Pedro neighbourhood with the aim of reimagining it through drawing, giving a second life to buildings that are currently unoccupied or abandoned.

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.

Continuing with the Mundo Quark project that was carried out last year as part of the San Pedro neighbourhood festivities programme, the CGAC is once again collaborating with the A Xuntanza neighbourhood association and the IGFAE (Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Energías) in organising a second edition of this workshop exploring the interconnection between dance and science.

Fashion is an important economic sector with an ever increasing presence in daily life: it’s on the street and in the media and forms part of recreational and cultural activities. Fashion is so omnipresent that it awakens in many of us the curiosity to find answers to the novel relevance it has gained in the 21st century.

The CGAC is presenting the tenth edition of this cycle of workshops on contemporary architecture for children, with a final session designed for families to learn and enjoy together.
