Thanks to all who visited The Soap Factory’s Haunted Basement!

This was a tremendous effort, requiring both workers and volunteers to perform superhuman feats of endurance. TSF staff and board are so grateful. Special thanks go to Eric Veldey, Liseli Polivka, Nate Kulenkamp, Benji Conklin, Ben Amel and Gabe Shapiro, the engineers of this project.

After the expenses of running a haunted house for 17 days are paid out, 100% of the profits support the programs of The Soap Factory. The economic situation is shaky at best but even before bail outs were on the horizon, the landscape of the Twin Cities’ arts community had changed markedly, with the demise of several outstanding organizations. Fundraisers like the Haunted Basement and our $99 Sale in September are essential to weathering this collective financial maelstrom.

The Soap Factory is a laboratory where untested ideas can meet the public, and where new art and artists can thrive. It’s not a particularly easy quest to fund, but it is essential for our cultural climate. Your support makes this possible. Thank you.

Ben Heywood, Executive Director
