MeetFactory, Arts centre and theatre company in Smíchov, Czech Republic
MeetFactory is an arts center and theatre company in Smíchov operating three exhibition spaces for contemporary art and performances. The spaces also serve as a residency program for international artists and regularly change their exhibitions.
The building was originally a glass factory and was converted into an international contemporary art center by artist David Černý in 2001. This conversion marked the beginning of its role as an important hub for artistic exchange.
The center brings together different artistic disciplines through exhibitions, performances, and concerts. Artists from around the world use the spaces to work and collaborate with local creators.
The space is open to visitors on most days, though hours may vary depending on events and performances. It is wise to check opening times before visiting and plan for arrival time around evening shows.
The most distinctive feature is two red cars attached to the building's facade by David Černý. This art installation is visible from a distance and serves as a landmark near Smíchov railway station.
