MeetFactory

MeetFactory is a non-for-profit International Centre for Contemporary Art. Our mission is to support and help develop contemporary art and present it in a comprehensive and accessible way to a wide range of audiences. MeetFactory was founded in 2001 by artist David Černý, whose intention was to run an independent cultural centre, and cultivate the institution into a platform that would enable Prague to join the international art scene. In the wake of the destructive floods of 2002, MeetFactory was forced to evacuate its previous premises in Holešovice. The project was resurrected three years later in an industrial building in Smíchov, a unique space tightly squeezed between a motorway and an active railroad. MeetFactory facilitates the development of original projects and events either free of charge or executed with small budgets. It is a space where people and various art forms such as visual art, music, theatre, film, photography, and literature meet, connect and converse.
