The relationship between contemporary art and the public is often characterized by detachment. However, there are many actions being considered aiming to approach the actants of such relationship. The focus of this article relies on considering the educational action in exhibition spaces as an important trigger towards an approximation. The paper brings, in an unpublished format, a master's dissertation presented in 2010 improved with new reflections. Three different art exhibitions are considered and analyzed along with a relevant theoretical reference. It is concluded that the concept of educational action could be understood in a broad and elastic way. After analyzed, the three exhibition proposals, distant in time and space, had their characteristics arranged according to paradigms called trends and particularities, in which common aspects and specificities that aim to provoke discussions among educators who work in these spaces and those who bring their students to visit them are evidenced as results.
