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.

27 December 2023 - 5 January 2024

This Christmas, we propose two workshops for your little ones.

20 November 2023 - 24 November 2023

OPEN TALK: 20 November at 7.00 p.m. in the CGAC auditorium

WORKSHOP: from 21 to 24 November, from 4.30 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. (for registered participants only)

In this workshop, Almudena Fernández Fariña proposes a reflection on the work’s integration and dialogue with each place, knowing how to differentiate, recognise and appreciate the uniqueness of the spaces.

12 April 2023 - 10 November 2023
ONSITE: from 4.00 to 8.00 p.m.
ONLINE: from 5.00 to 7.00 p.m.

In this workshop we will approach a reading of the city as a complex organism, using the concept of aesthetic experience as a primary tool. By this we mean everything that the different senses capture from a city and that constitutes the common heritage of citizenship (everyone sees the same façades, hears the same noises, gets wet by the rain on the same day).

4 July 2023 - 28 July 2023

This year like every year, the CGAC presents its summer leisure workshops. The workshops are aimed at encouraging children aged between 4 and 12 to reflect on the importance of art, to better understand the world around them and to provide them with the chance to engage in creative processes, in addition to getting to know, communicate and experiment multiple supports, languages and concepts involved in contemporary art.
