MeetFactory
About

Housed in a repurposed glass factory in Prague’s Smíchov district, MeetFactory is a multidisciplinary center for contemporary art founded by Czech sculptor David Černý. Nestled between a railway line and an elevated road, the venue embraces its industrial roots while offering a vibrant space for visual arts, music, theater, and artist residencies. Since its reopening in 2007, MeetFactory has hosted exhibitions in three galleries—MeetFactory Gallery, Kostka Gallery, and Wall Gallery—each showcasing Czech and international talent. The music hall and theater stage present independent concerts and experimental performances, often exploring social and political themes. A standout feature is the artists-in-residence program, which brings creators from around the world to live and work on-site, fostering cross-cultural exchange and public engagement through monthly Open Studios. With its raw aesthetic and boundary-pushing programming, MeetFactory is a creative incubator where art is not just displayed but actively made, debated, and lived.
