The Soap Factory is an innovative exhibition space, dedicated to contemporary fine art practice. This goal is brought to fruition only by the dedication of the volunteer members of our team, without whom the day-to-day running of the gallery would be impossible.

In exchange for voluntary hours, we offer Interns and Volunteers several incentives:

• The opportunity to be part of the vibrant art community in Minneapolis/St. Paul
• The option of having free studio space on the upper floors of the gallery
• Social and networking opportunities with peers, local/international artists and creative professionals
• Valuable work experience within the creative field, written references may be provided with the possible accruement of course credits
• The practice and comradeship of maintaining a working art gallery

As Manager of Volunteer Programs I too, am a former volunteer at The Soap Factory. The opportunities made available to me through my experiences at The Soap Factory have been invaluable.

The main personal incentives for me were: learning new skills, making friends and becoming part of the Twin Cities art community, all of which I achieved within one season of work at The Soap Factory. I cannot emphasize enough the excellent time that there is to be had here!

So what is the next step? Contact me...
