Centro Gallego de Arte Contemporáneo CGAC

The Galician Center for Contemporary Art is a space for cultural dissemination whose function is to energize the current artistic panorama and reflect on the diversity of cultural formations in contemporary society. Created in 1993, it is part of the policy that emerged in Spain from the 1980s to promote the development of cultural platforms and favor the entry of Galicia into the international artistic circuit. Since its inception, the CGAC has shown the guidelines of the art of the last decades through retrospective exhibitions of internationally recognized artists as well as exhibitions dedicated to disseminating Galician art, including both established and emerging authors. Collaborations with other institutions articulated through long-term projects are also continuous.
