The aim of the Centre for Contemporary Art Prague (*1992) is to support and develop contemporary art. Since 2014 it has been located in the former bakery building in Prague's Letná district, where it operates the Jelení Gallery (*1999), the Kurzor Gallery (*2017), a lecture space connected with a café, and the Artlist database of contemporary Czech visual art.cz (*2006).


From the beginning of its existence, Galerie Jelení has focused on supporting young, mainly Czech artists, who often have one of their first solo exhibitions in this gallery. Gabriela Kotiková, the gallery's curator, bases the development of the programme on communication with the heads of studios of art schools in Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Ústí nad Labem and other cities, as well as on close cooperation with young Czech curators.


Galerie Kurzor has been developing a programme of guest curators in its space since 2017. Each year, a new curator is approached to collaborate with it in order to create a comprehensive exhibition dramaturgy, including accompanying activities (lectures, panels) and an annual publication. The format, approach and theme are entirely the responsibility of the selected guest curator. The curators of the Kurzor Gallery have so far included Václav Magid, Edith Jeřábková, Jan Zálešák, Marek Meduna and Zuzana Blochová, Sráč Sama and Denisa Bytelová, Tomáš Knoflíček and Kateřina Štroblová.
