About

Flux Factory, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit arts organization. In August of 1994, seven original members of the then-unincorporated group moved into a large warehouse at 210 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The project at that time was to create a private communal environment in which artistic and intellectual projects could be developed and sustained. Flux Factory officially incorporated in 1998 and began producing work as an art collective. Since that time, the organization has moved to 38-38 43rd Street in Long Island City, Queens. It now encompasses 7,500 square feet and the population of Flux Factory has grown to approximately fifty individuals internationally.

Mission Statement

The mission of Flux Factory is to support innovative and collaborative art works. It is thus primarily an incubation and laboratory space for works that are in dialogue with the physical, social, and cultural space of New York City (though collaborations may start in New York and stretch far beyond). The goal of the Flux art collective is to create a forum where Flux artists can collaborate with each other as well as others in an experimental lab that produces new works. These new works force participants to work with people they’ve never worked with before, or with unfamiliar media, or formal constraints. Flux Factory supports work that reflects upon and alters public space in dynamic ways. Flux Factory is also a public and community space in itself. It provides a computer center, darkroom, performance space, musical recording space, publishing equipment, and a weekly Thursday night dinner and salon that has become a well-known venue for artists and intellectuals to present both finished pieces and, more importantly, works-in-progress.
