Dozens of local artists and enthusiasts marched through Long Island City on Saturday, May 7, for the first annual Flux-a-Thon, an absurdist twist on a traditional walk-a-thon featuring “mobile art floats and roving spectacles.” The parade, which featured dozens of costumed revelers and a collection of small floats, was organized to raise money for the Flux Factory art collective’s artist residency program.
The event culminated in an awards ceremony and garden party at Smiling Hogshead Ranch, raising more than $6,000 to support artists in the collective.
