MeetFactory
is a nonprofit international center for contemporary art, established by artist
David Černý in 2001. After moving from Holešovice Prague Borough, the Project
found its new residence in former glassworks industrial premises at Smíchov, on
a specific site between a highway and an active railway line. Its Program was
launched after an extensive reconstruction of the premises in 2007. Currently
MeetFactory is the organizer of original projects in art, theater and music.
Our residential art program is the largest in the Czech Republic.
Why visit MeetFactory?Among our
goals is opening a dialogue between different art genres and communicating
happenings at the contemporary art scene to the general public. Our institution
offers three art gallery spaces and organizes around twenty exhibitions each
year. In our residential art program, we yearly offer facilities to about
thirty artists from around the world. Our educational programs cater for a wide
spectrum of visitors, from elementary school pupils to high school students.
The programs offered by us are designed to meet the objectives of the Framework
Programs of the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The workshops
and guided tours are offered both in Czech and English. We are ready to meet
specific needs of individual groups of visitors.
