About Flux IV
Flux IV (56-21 2nd Street, LIC), Flux Factory’s fourth location, is a new project space where we host free and public exhibitions, gatherings, and artist projects. We maintain another location at Flux Factory (39-31 29th Street, LIC), where until 2021, we presented our public events. As of 2025, we have moved all public programming to Flux IV, maintaining Flux Factory for future residencies and international exchange.
Flux IV Programming
Exhibitions and events come to Flux IV in three processes: by open call, through collaborations with alumni and current residents (our “collective”), or via community/institutional partnerships. The project space hosts a variety of public programs: group and solo exhibitions, artist projects, artistic research and workspace, educational workshops, discursive events, screenings, concerts, and rentals. Both the staff and collective prioritize public programming that is mission-aligned and iterative, shifting with artists’ insights. Generally, we support emerging artists of all ages, with a focus on resource and skill-sharing, education, and collaboration. We are committed study, grow roots, and forge relationships in Hunter’s Point and the Newtown Creek watershed, where Flux IV is situated.
