Located in Prague’s Holešovice district, The Chemistry Gallery is a vibrant platform for emerging contemporary artists from the Czech Republic and abroad. Founded in 2008 by Petr Hájek, the gallery began as a space for street art and graffiti but quickly evolved into a multidisciplinary venue showcasing painting, sculpture, design, and audiovisual installations. Now housed in Hala 40 of the Holešovice Market, the gallery hosts regular exhibitions, pop-up events, and collaborative projects that foster dialogue between artists and audiences. Its curatorial approach often pairs creators working in different media, encouraging fresh perspectives and dynamic contrasts. The gallery also participates in international art fairs and offers services such as artwork rental and interior design consultation. With its industrial setting and forward-thinking programming, The Chemistry Gallery has become a key player in Prague’s cultural scene, cultivating “chemistry” between viewers and art through bold, accessible experiences.
