The cultural non-profit organisation kontrapunkt has been active in Hradec Králové since 2005 (originally under the name Poco a poco animato). Its main aim is to involve local residents in the cultural and social life of the city, build professional cooperation and help create a creative community in Hradec Králové.
Since 2010, it has organised one of the most significant, longest-running and production-intensive events taking place in the city and the wider Hradec Králové region: the Open Air Programme. In 2015, kontrapunkt also became the organiser of the major international music event Jazz jde městem / Jazz Goes to Town. The organisation also runs community-oriented projects, including the series of creative and cultural meetings Zaber Hradec! and others. In 2018, kontrapunkt launched two new projects: the public-space gallery Walk Thru Gallery and the Hradec Králové Architectural Manual (KAM).
