This document outlines the mission and beliefs of an organization called the Flux Foundation, which aims to engage people in collaborative public art projects. Their mission is to use public art as a catalyst for education, collaboration, leadership, and empowerment. They believe that the art-making process is an opportunity for learning, that individual contributions are important to the whole, and that anyone can be an artist with the right passion and drive to learn. Their collaborative process focuses on support, experimentation, listening, and horizontal leadership to create public art projects that also help create new "public artists".
