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.

O obxectivo deste actividade é achegar á arte contemporánea aos centros educativos e estimular o interese das novas xeracións pola creación artística do seu tempo.
Durante as sesións, tanto presenciais coma en liña, achegarémonos á arte contemporánea cunha presentación de imaxes dos diferentes espazos, montaxes e exposicións históricas do CGAC. Exemplificaremos a través dos múltiples soportes, miradas e discursos das obras da Colección CGAC os diversos xeitos de facer da arte actual.
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.
Organised by the Auditorium of Galicia - Compostela Cultura, the City Council of Santiago, the Galician Centre for Contemporary Art (CGAC) and the University of Santiago de Compostela, with the financial support of the Provincial Council of Corunna, the Contemporary Music Sessions bring a ‘kaleidoscope’ of sounds and artistic proposals to Compostela.
The raison d'être of a museum, long term, is its collection – without a collection, there is no museum. And a collection is, by definition, a collective, transgenerational and transversal project. It’s also a way of narrating the (recent) history of a cultural context – in this case, Galicia.
