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.

With the arrival of Christmas, like every year, the CGAC presents its proposal of activities aimed at children from 4 to 9 years old.
Participants will have the opportunity to experience and explore contemporary art under the guidance of educator and artist Rebeca Mariño.
This course proposes an exploration of different filmic landscapes through the displacement of bodies and the journey, both physical and symbolic (if such a distinction can be made).
Over the course of three days, Miguel Ángel Delgado proposes a reflection on a selection of works by Galician filmmakers and artists who, through their practices and experimentation at the intersection of film and the museum, have opened up new imaginaries with which to discover and question reality.
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.
The film cycle New Imaginaries introduces a selection of the film production of the creators participating in the exhibition and allows us to discover the artistic pursuits that have shaped their imaginaries from the outset of their careers.
This course will allow us to approach in a practical way the tools that enable us to plan and design a message, to compose and shape it, to express an idea and to communicate with the environment in a visual way.
In an exercise more attuned to archaeology, our aim during the course On the Origin of Species. The Other Genealogies of Contemporary Art is to unearth images and objects of popular culture made eternal through art, despite being destined for rapid consumption only to disappear after a single (and often final) use.
Proposing a new architectural route that encourages everyone to walk around the city and enjoy its architecture, discovering the urban spaces that have undergone transformations in recent decades.
