A4 – Space for Contemporary Culture
Independent arts centre on the edge of the Old Town with a programme of contemporary music, theatre, dance and art-house film.
Why visit
A4 is a non-commercial centre for contemporary culture, based in a former youth association building on the edge of the Old Town.
Its programme leans towards new and experimental work: concerts of contemporary music, independent theatre and dance, and films that rarely reach mainstream cinemas.
What to see
- Music: original contemporary and experimental music from Slovak and international artists.
- Theatre: the resident SkRAT company and visiting independent groups from Slovakia and abroad.
- Dance: physical theatre by Debris Company and performances linked to contemporary dance festivals.
- Cinema: curated screenings of creative documentaries, experimental and auteur films.
Plan your visit
There is no permanent exhibition – A4 is about events, which mostly take place in the evening, so check the programme for the day you are in town. The main hall holds around 250 people.
The Old Town is a 10 to 15-minute walk away.
