Story

The Soap Factory is a laboratory for artistic experimentation, audience engagement and emerging cultural practice. A vital cultural anchor in the Twin Cities, The Soap Factory produces innovative programming across artistic disciplines and provides audiences with unique opportunities to explore contemporary art. Since its founding in 1989, we have commissioned and presented more than 300 exhibitions, performances and events; launched the careers of hundreds of emerging artists and produced nationally recognized programs. Located in a 48,000 square foot historic factory building, The Soap Factory is at the core of three fast-growing historic districts of Minneapolis: the Riverfront District, the Mill District and the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood. We play an important role in the vibrant arts ecology of the Twin Cities and in the community at large, acting as a cutting-edge catalyst for local and regional artistic activity. Visit soapfactory.org for a full program information.

The Soap Factory is an incredible art facility in Minneapolis, MN located across the Mississippi from downtown directly behind the A-Mill lofts. I attended the performance of 'Quizoola!', a durational work where the audience were free to come and go at any point. It was performed by an amazing company from England called 'Forced Entertainment.' I've also visited for the annual 'Haunted Basement' which was an experience I will never forget. My level of fear was at the highest ever after entering that realm of Halloween fright. I highly suggest attending an event at this wonderful art facility. Enjoy!

If you want to be inappropriately touched, go ahead. Nothing was scary. It was mostly awkward and uncomfortable. I had mustard put in my hands and had to do sexual things with it. Way too sexualized. They kept you closed in small places, such as lockers, for long periods of time. Again, not every, but very uncomfortable. Trigger warnings insinuating sexual acts should be posted.
