Flux Factory is a 501C3 registered non-profit arts organization. We support innovative and collaborative art works. The goal of the Flux is to create a forum in which Flux artists can collaborate with each other as well as others in an experimental lab that produces new works, especially ones that reflect upon and alters public space in dynamic ways. We are also a public and community space in itself. We provide artists and the larger community with an open computer center, performance space, silk-screen printshop, a public woodshop, and loads of educational programming. Once a month we open our space for a well-known salon evening where artists and intellectuals present both finished pieces and, more importantly, works-in-progress.
Our community has grown dramatically since 1994. We have given work and exhibition opportunities to over 500 artists, most of whom produce art that is not commercially lucrative. Beyond that, we offer 14 studio spaces for dramatically below market value, so that artists can not only work in the most important art nexus in North America, but also take part in an extremely welcoming community that supports each other. This unique artist-run residency program is the fruit of artists organizing and working for themselves, completely on a volunteer basis. Most of our employees are volunteers.
Since taking up shop in our new building we have partnered with several other artists collectives and non-profits, offering them office space in our building free of charge. We've also let almost a dozen theatre, dance, music, and other visual artists use our gallery to put on events, exhibitions, or fundraisers of their own. We have acted as fiscal sponsors on behalf of other organizations just starting out, and our staff have mentored several aspiring curators and arts administrators learn the ropes and put on exhibitions.
