The Centre operates everyday to make contemporary art accessible to as many people as possible and offers several appointments which go along with the programming and allow different audiences to approach and to deepen the exhibitions on display by other means. The whole mediation program offers a bridge that aims to allow the audiences to apprehend contemporary art in a friendly and a playful way.
The mediation activities are carried out with the generous support of the Tamari Foundation.
For teachers to approach contemporary art with their students, the Centre offers guided tours and workshops adapted to each audience and age. From January on, the Centre gives introduction classes to the history of video art and experimental cinema.
Families are invited on a journey through each of the Centre’s exhibition, with visits punctuated by creative workshops.

With the guided tours, which give several keys to understand the exhibitions on view, the Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève daily works to make contemporary art available for different audiences.
