Trafo Gallery
About

Located in Hall 14 of Prague’s Holešovice Market, Trafo Gallery is a private contemporary art space known for its bold exhibitions and industrial charm. Originally founded in 2006 as Spolek Trafačka, the gallery evolved from a DIY cultural hub in Vysočany into a professional venue showcasing Czech and international artists. Its programming focuses on painting, sculpture, graffiti, photography, and intermedia installations, often curated by leading figures such as Otto M. Urban and Petr Vaňous. Trafo hosts six exhibitions annually, each accompanied by bilingual publications, and regularly participates in international art fairs. The gallery also provides studios to artists like Jan Kaláb and Jakub Nepraš, fostering a creative community within its walls. With guided tours, workshops, and performances, Trafo Gallery offers a dynamic platform for artistic dialogue and experimentation. In 2024, it was named Gallery of the Year by the Czech Academy of Visual Art, cementing its role as a vital force in Prague’s contemporary art scene.
