Selected artists were commissioned to create temporary art installations around the Valley for public enjoyment. These cities – Avondale, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe – each with excellent art programs of their own, collaborated with each other to foster encourage artists' interest in public art, activate spaces in innovative ways, and foster appreciation for the beauty and creativity these works bring to a community.

About IN FLUX: IN FLUX is a strategic partnership of public art programs and organizations. The intentions of this multi-city partnership are to create connections between community organizations, city governments, local businesses, artists, and audiences, while providing creatives a chance to expand their skills, challenge their creativity, and garner public recognition for their work. It was launched in 2010 by Scottsdale Public Art as an initiative for temporary installations in vacant storefronts. Cycle 10 is supported by Artlink Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
