The Ayuntamiento de Santander has opened registration for the new school visits at the Museo de Arte Moderno y Contemporáneo de Santander y Cantabria (full name: Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Santander and Cantabria). The programme is aimed at schools of all levels and runs in two Wednesday blocks: from 30 September 2026 to 16 December 2026 and from 27 January 2027 to 24 March 2027. A total of 20 sessions are planned, the city council says.
The educational agency DidacArt is coordinating programme design, logistics and adaptation to the respective educational stages. According to the organisers, ten sessions will combine a guided tour with a creative workshop, while ten more will be modular formats that can be selected according to age group and needs. Schools can choose between tours focused solely on the collections and more experiential formats; the organisers recommend booking early, as no specific figures have been published for the capacity of each session.
The programme centres on encounters with the museum’s collection and themed tours, including “Retrato como ejercicio de Poder” and “La mujer de objeto a sujeto”, which explore portraiture, regimes of looking and representations of roles. Four participating women artists will lead practical workshops: Alexandra G. Núñez, Laura López Balza, Mina K. and Eva Gárate. Planned workshop formats have titles such as “Galería de retratos“, „Rotu, papel, tijeras“, „Línea y mapa” and “Trazos, manchas, texturas”, and range from portrait studies to collage, cartography and experimental work with materials.
The activities take place in small groups to encourage observation, sketching and reflection. DidacArt provides an email address and telephone number for registration; interested schools should contact them directly to check availability and discuss any special requirements. The announcement marks the opening of registration and the scheduling of sessions for the 2026/2027 school year. The activities take place at the museum in Santander; meeting points, information about materials and any last-minute changes will be sent to registered groups in advance.
