Chapeau Rouge, founded in 1919 and established as a dazzling star in the massive sky of Prague night clubs, it has been redefining its eminent presence in past epochs. Located in an Art Noveau house in the city centre, with a lavishly styled interior, today it serves as an attraction to a crowd of mass proportions. Everyday djs, live concerts and performances on 3 floors with 4 bars and 3 stages.
Despite the name, wearing red hats is not exactly commonplace here. It should however be noted that this three-level enterprise is located on the site where until 1913 the „U Štupartů“ house (also called „Devil’s pub“ by clever locals) stood from times when the Kingdom of Bohemia was the centre of the Holy Roman Empire and protesting against the Church was an eerie and uncommon sight. The 21st century’s Chapeau Rouge still offers its audience an entourage of both devils and angels. Apart from the Irish-pub like atmosphere on the ground fl oor there are two lower levels, or subterranean stages in cellars built during an age known only by historians. On the fi rst level there is a dance fl oor with both domestic and outlandish top dance DJs skillfully spinning on stage throughout the year, and is open to all with free entrance. Downstairs, a newly renovated space on the deepest rockbed was recently opened. This „Underground Club“ focuses mainly on live concerts by various indie bands, the occasional theatrical act, multimedia presentations as well as other mind blowing performances. Nevetheless, a delicious musical mixture of funk, hardcore, indie rock, disco and just about anything else that might satisfy ones tastes is regularly served from dusk ‘til dawn. Actually there‘s more than just music to experience at Chapeau Rouge. Anyone interested in visual arts are cordially invited to witness and behold the underground conceptual space featuring extravagantly lit sculptures and forms of streetart.
The newest space opened at Chapeau rouge was new Fenester Gallery in 2010. It was the only window gallery in Prague with a permanent curator.The gallery occupied one of the Chapeau rouge showcases. It offered a great opportunity for young artists to show their talent and also present their work directly to the public. Every artist could present his/her work for one month (including the vernissage). The Gallery ended in 2015.

MeetFactory is a non-profit international center for contemporary art founded in 2001 by the artist David Černý. 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 Prague's quarter Smíchov, in a unique space squeezed between a motorway and an active railroad. The program started after a substantial reconstruction in 2007.
The program of MeetFactory consists in four dramaturgic departments - music, theatre, gallery and the artist-in-residence program.
The music program presents the international independent music scene, holding six to eight performances per month in the music hall fitted with high-end audio equipment.
The theatre program focuses on contemporary prose, as well as experimental interdisciplinary projects, often involving visual artists, musicians, or non-actors.
The three galleries offer space for critical confrontation of the national and international art scenes. The MeetFactory Gallery focuses on original curatorial projects, while the Kostka Gallery presents solo shows of emerging and established artists. The program of the Wall Gallery, a side-facade of the building, comprises of large-scale realizations beyond street art.
The international Artist-in-Residence program is the largest studio program in the Czech Republic. MeetFactory facilitates fifteen studios, which annually host over thirty visual artists, curators, musicians, theatre directors or writers. We foster the involvement of our artists in residence not only within the programming of MeetFactory, but also in the context of the Czech and Central European art scenes.
Besides the four dramaturgic departments the program of MeetFactory is oriented on inter-genre and educational projects which offer the public new forms of encounter with contemporary art.
