Futura Centre for Contemporary Art
About

Located in Prague’s Smíchov district, the Futura Centre for Contemporary Art is a non-profit institution dedicated to showcasing Czech and international contemporary art. Housed in a three-floor former factory with over 1,000 square meters of exhibition space, Futura hosts large-scale solo and group exhibitions featuring renowned artists such as Marina Abramović, Lawrence Weiner, and Carsten Nicolai. Since its founding in 2003, the center has become a vital platform for experimental and multidisciplinary art, including painting, sculpture, video, and installation. Futura also operates an artist-in-residence program and manages a satellite venue at the Renaissance Château in Třebešice near Kutná Hora, fostering cross-cultural exchange and creative dialogue. Though temporarily closed, the Prague venue remains a landmark of independent artistic expression, known for its provocative programming and commitment to pushing boundaries. With its international collaborations and bold curatorial vision, Futura continues to shape the contemporary art landscape in the Czech Republic and beyond.
