Our Mission::
The mission of the Flux Foundation is to engage people in designing and building large-scale public art as a catalyst for education, collaboration and empowerment.
What We Do ::
Flux doesn’t just create public art; it creates public artists. We invite individuals to submit ideas for collaborative large-scale art projects, and we utilize our infrastructure to help bring these projects to life. We seek to provide artists with resources that may not otherwise be available to them such as shop space, volunteer teams, fundraising support, project management and other valuable tools.
What We Believe ::
The Flux Foundation exists as a new model for the exploration of large-scale art. At our core, we are collaborators. We believe that every step in the art-making process is an opportunity for people to work together to create something monumental. Individual contributions made by participants are invaluable and fundamental to the art we create.
We also believe that anyone can be an artist and build big art. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never picked up a tool or even thought for a minute you could draw or paint or sculpt. All that matters is your drive to learn and your passion to create. Each project is a vehicle to learn new technical skills, cultivate a critical approach to art and discover that you, too, can be an artist, a creator, and an instigator.
