Welcome to the Flux Gallery Press
History of the Press
The idea for the Press itself grew organically out of a series of occasional poetry readings which took place at the Flux Gallery, which is located at 16a Midland Road in the Hyde Park area of Leeds. As these events became more popular we decided to initially publish an anthology of poetry, representing some of the poets who have read at the gallery, including the launch of The Great Refusal we have published a total of seven titles - one of which is a novel - and there are several more literary projects in the pipeline for release in 2008 / 09.
A Platform for Artists Work
We operate as a non-profit making artists co-operative, offering writers and visual artists a platform for their work, promoting creative co-operation between bookbinders, typesetters, writers and photographers. To this end we continue to hold regular poetry readings and book launches and recently we have added monthly literary film evenings to our calendar. We also produce handmade limited-edition books.
Future Events
In the near future we have a number of multimedia events planned. All this activity takes a lot of time and effort for which we depend on a small team of dedicated volunteers.
Please feel free to browse the site and contact us if you want to be put on our mailing list. We hope to develop these evenings as an alternative to the Open Mic sessions that we have had in the past. All poets and musicians are most welcome.
