Discover the intersection between music and visual art in the Graphic Music Workshop, a creative laboratory where sound and image communicate with each other. This space is an invitation to play, experimentation, and collective imagination, in which participants of all ages and levels discover unique forms of expression through graphic scores.

Each session is unique and different. Throughout the workshop you will explore how to draw music and how to sonically interpret visual works, with inspiring examples from artists and composers who have worked on this artistic frontier. Through participatory dynamics, you will learn to create your own graphic scores and make them sound in surprising ways.

It is recommended to bring your own drawing materials. No prior training is necessary.

Tour through the museum spaces normally closed to the public.

If you want to discover the museum spaces that are normally closed to the public, we are sure that this visit will delight you.

We ask for punctuality, as once it has begun, entry will not be permitted.

SoniArt presents a concert of newly created music. Guest composer Natalia G. Iglesias.

SoniArt 2025 is presented with the intention of continuing to consolidate a cycle of concerts among audiences who appreciate and are attracted to contemporary art. There are various challenges that contemporary art must face, one of the most recurring being the lack of understanding with which the public justifies the disinterest with which they observe current artistic manifestations. Undoubtedly, when a composer speaks about their work, showing their creative processes as well as their motivations and expressive needs, greater connection with the audience is achieved and the path toward acceptance of the work is cleared. Our personal reality pushes us toward different sensations according to our vital moment. But understanding the artist's thinking and their creative processes allow us to obtain a real approach to the creation of works, to the aesthetic fact, and to the artist's motivations.

Scenic exhibition resulting from the youth laboratory of the No More Boring Artists program. A theatrical proposal where the circus becomes a metaphor for resistance and community. Collective creation. Young protagonists. Pure emotion.

"What more can be lost when nothing is left? That is the question asked by the circus members when the great tragedy occurs. Determined to change the course of this story told with humor and sarcasm, they will make us reflect on how solidarity, teamwork, and the magic that surrounds a spectacle can break the cycle of slavery and poverty at the expense of a few. Or at least that's what they thought."

About the project:

The exhibition is the result of the scenic laboratory conducted during the first months of 2025 at the MACA. A collective project that combines object theater, contemporary creation, and social reflection through live arts, and is part of the "No More Boring Artists" program, a youth scenic reference since 2021.

A performance that transcends contemporary dance to reflect on the body in motion.

The world is governed by a tireless and incandescent will that turns us into machines of desire. We desire ceaselessly and, after the satisfaction of one longing, another emerges that demands to be fulfilled. This dynamic drags us relentlessly between two inevitable poles: suffering and boredom.

In this back-and-forth, the search for freedom presents itself as a challenge, since free will will always be conditioned by desire.

Replicant explores the intersection between dance, existentialism, and transhumanism. The work investigates the human condition, freedom, and self-determination, using the body in motion as a means of expression. It also seeks to offer a personal perspective on the spirit, life, and individual consciousness, as well as examine the moral conflict in the construction of being.

Are freedom and self-determination essential conditions for defining what is human?

On May 18th, at the proposal of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), International Museum Day is celebrated, and, as has been the case since 2013, Alicante will join again. This year's theme is "The future of museums in communities in constant change," focusing on how museums can navigate and contribute to a world experiencing profound social, technological, and environmental changes.

The City Council (MACA, Las Cigarreras, and MUSA), the Provincial Council (MARQ, MUBAG, and the Juan Gil-Albert Alicante Institute of Culture), The Ocean Race Museum, the University of Alicante Museum, the University Headquarters City of Alicante, and the Alicante Water Museum, come together again to offer a carefully curated program for all audiences.

A new cycle of talks begins under the name "Other Collections, Other Perspectives". At this beginning, we will have the presence of the curator of TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, Isidro Hernández Gutiérrez, with whom we will delve into the idea of "Óscar Domínguez and the Canary Islands: The Conquest of the World through Image".

Hernández will address some of the keys to the scope and significance of the Canarian avant-garde and the international culture magazine Gaceta de arte (1932 - 1936), dwelling especially on the work of painter Óscar Domínguez, who has been considered, along with Miró and Dalí, one of the great contributions of Spanish painting to international surrealism.
