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.

Once again, this year the CGAC is collaborating with the 19th edition of the international film festival Curtocircuíto.
The festival was launched in Santiago de Compostela in 2003 as a city council initiative, with the aim of enhancing film-making in the genre of the short film.
The exhibition Nalgures highlights the attention Narelle Jubelin (Sidney, Australia, 1960) gives to those realities forgotten by the linearity of official history. With this spirit, she embraces the subalternities of different contexts, her own and those of others, in order to revisit memories that allow us to define our attitudes towards these events.
O xoves 22 de setembro ás 18:30 horas terá lugar no auditorio do CGAC a presentación de Francesc Torres. Crebas, catálogo da exposición homónima inaugurada no CGAC en 2020, e o libro de memorias do artista La campana hermética, editado recentemente polo selo Catedral do grupo Enciclopèdia Catalana.
The conference is organized by the University of Vigo and the Museum of Galician Contemporary Art (CGAC).
After the ‘Great Reset’ triggered by the pandemic and the resulting collective shock, society as we know It is heading towards a recession: degraded and ultra-mutable values, extreme polarisation, a crisis in terms of ideology and resources, generational gaps, the mass integration of artificial intelligence in the creative sphere and a common problem that after sixty years of invisibility is calling at our door.
The CGAC is supporting the 64th edition of Music in Compostela, a programme promoting the preservation, knowledge and dissemination of Spanish musical heritage, with a concert that will be held at 8 p.m. on Friday, 5 August, in the CGAC auditorium.
This summer, the Leisure Workshops will be a body observatory for children.
We’ll explore a CGAC exhibition for each age group over a period of four days per group, accompanied by the stage designer and writer Helena Salgueiro. We’ll focus on the body and how, through art and language, it helps us to observe and discover things about ourselves and also about others.
In her creative processes, Narelle Jubelin defines her works by researching and analysing the contexts in which her projects are framed. On this occasion she draws on specific object or literary references within the Galician context and linking them to other mappings and personal references.
