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.

Maria Callas is universally known. She was an opera singer who transcended that artistic sphere to become a cultural icon with millions of followers around the world, giving rise to the mythomania that all modern-day sopranos must face in one way or another.
This Christmas, we propose two workshops for your little ones.
‘Part of a door or window where the hinge pin passes through, and where it moves and rotates.’ This is the definition of quicio according to the revered Royal Spanish Academy. If after reading this you are asking yourself what on earth a hinge pin is, well that makes two of us: you, the reader, and me, this impersonal narrator (with the aspirations of a film voiceover) who is covertly trying to attract your attention.
Contemporary architecture and town planning are the city of Compostela’s great unknowns. This route comprises a sample of building works carried out in the last fifty years that has continually defined and distinguished the city’s northern area. We will talk about the relationship between architecture and landscape, the dialogue between tradition and modernity, stone and the new architectural languages…
Throughout the year, we will be holding a series of yoga sessions framed within the CGAC’s temporary exhibitions, the suggestive architectural spaces that contain them and the natural spaces of Bonaval park, designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira and the architect and landscape artist Isabel Aguirre.
