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.

This project was created with the aim of providing, through contemporary art, a space for learning, creativity, and motivation for children and young people undergoing hospitalisation.
Hospital classrooms are educational services that allow children and young people to continue their schooling while admitted to hospital, offering both pedagogical and emotional support.
Urban planning and contemporary architecture remain among the great unknowns of the city of Santiago de Compostela. The aim of this activity is to encourage citizens to go beyond monumental Compostela and to walk, discover and enjoy an architectural landscape that is contemporary and constantly evolving.
On this occasion, and in response to public demand, we are reissuing several architecture routes carried out in recent years.
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.
Over the course of this year, we’ll be holding a series of yoga sessions structured around and inspired by exhibitions by artists such as Carlos Pazos, Lluís Hortalà, Alexandra Ranner or Jannis Kounellis.
As part of the community action programmes promoted by the CGAC and under the direction of La Querencia, last March we issued a call inviting older residents from the surrounding neighbourhoods to take part in the workshop O Forno da Amara.
Once again, we will walk through the streets of Santiago de Compostela; on this occasion, to talk about architecture as a container for cultural spaces. To do this, we will stop at some of these places where, beyond simply creating spaces intended to provide a service, architecture can and should be an inspiring element that accompanies and enhances the experience of the visit.
O obxectivo deste programa é fomentar e facilitar o diálogo entre o público e a arte contemporánea co ioga como ferramenta para a mediación
This exhibition brings together a series of periodicals in different formats. Some are distributed free of charge and in inexpensive publishing formats, while others are facsimiles of magazines from the early 20th century.
The goal of International Museum Day (IMD) is to raise awareness among visitors about the importance of museums as a platform for exchange, cultural enrichment, collaboration, mutual understanding and peace among peoples. IDM is held around 18 May with the participation of 158 countries and territories from all over the world.
On the occasion of the International Day of Libraries, the CGAC library is hosting an artistic intervention by Lourdes Pérez, inviting us to break with the established order and adopt a different approach in exploring the network of relationships between authors, institutions and the artists shaping it.
