About Fluxus Art Projects

Fluxus Art Projects supports contemporary visual art that connects France and the UK, with a strong emphasis on helping emerging artists, curators, and galleries gain international visibility. Its funding is highly programmatic, focusing on exhibitions, curatorial research trips, artist residencies, and prize-based support at major art fairs. The funder is distinctive for backing cross-Channel cultural exchange rather than broad arts philanthropy, and most opportunities are tied to specific calls or partner institutions.

Giving Approach

Small-to-moderate program grants, typically £1,000 to £10,000, with some larger prize awards. Funding is offered through scheduled application rounds for specific programs, while some opportunities are invite-only or limited to non-profit host institutions.

How to approach this funder

Watch the twice-yearly deadlines for exhibition and research-trip grants, and apply only through the relevant program route; exhibition applications must come from the organising non-profit institution. Magnetic Residencies has an open call format, while the Fluxus prizes are invite-only, so applicants should target the correct program and confirm eligibility by geography and professional status before applying.
