about Art In FLUX
Art In FLUX is an uptown arts initiative that creates opportunities for artists by reclaiming underutilized and unique spaces for art. Since its launch in 2012, Art in FLUX has popped up in vacant neighborhood retail spaces, city parks, schools, lobbies, and street corners, providing greater accessibility to the arts and connecting patrons and property owners with a diverse and dedicated group of artists in Harlem.
In just four years, Art in FLUX has expanded its scope and mission and has grown to include the FLUX Art Fair, an annual international art fair launched in May 2015 that presents both local and international artists in Upper Manhattan timed to coincide with one of the City’s leading international art weeks. In 2016 FLUX Art Fair presented over forty public art projects in Marcus Garvey Park, Harlem Art Park and Malcolm X Blvd in collaboration with NYC Parks Department and NYC Department of Transportation's Art Program.

Summer Break
Opening June 12
Summer Break begs us not to forget, as we approach the summer holiday, what it means to be a student in America in 2018. Through installation, interactive works, 2D artworks and performance, this exhibition examines issues that have broken the essence of effective, nurturing education. Seven visual artists and a dozen spoken word artists present a variety of perspectives, some pulling from their days as young students and others as educators in the current environment.
