FLUX Dublin
FLUX is an independent cultural project whose mission is to provide affordable and professionally managed workspace to Dublin's creative community. FLUX is currently home to over 40 artists and makers from their homes in The Digital Hub campus in Dublin 8, and also our new flagship building on Chatham Row in Dublin 2.
As well as providing creative workspace, FLUX also champions several arts and mental health initiatives in the local community, partnering with St James' Hospital, and the charities Headway and As I Am to increase arts participation in the city and advocate for creativity as a tool for better mental health.
FLUX is also home to the Skillsets creative education programme. Skillsets offers a range of workshops & short courses from experts in Dublin's creative community, allowing the public to learn directly from people who live & breathe their creative passion. In the past year alone we've put on over 50 courses in subjects as diverse as screen writing, animation, life drawing, figure painting, pallet furniture building & more.
One of our main objectives is to find creative solutions for vacant and under-utilised buildings in the city, advocating for 'Meanwhile Use' for short-term cultural events as well as longer-term creative studio spaces. Through a combination of advocacy and 'persuasion through experience' at pop-up cultural events, we hope to unlock more spaces for exciting grassroots cultural use.
