The Soap Factory is the region's premier laboratory for emerging contemporary art. Over 25,000 individuals visit the galleries each year for programs from visual arts to performance, dance and much more. The valued work of our volunteer corps makes these efforts possible.

Volunteers at The Soap Factory come from a multitude of backgrounds and fill a wide variety of roles within the organization. A volunteer at The Soap Factory can expect to have a rich experience, unique to their talents and goals.

In exchange for voluntary hours, we offer interns and volunteers several incentives:

• The opportunity to be an active participant in the vibrant Twin Cities art community
• The optional use of free studio space on the upper floors of the gallery
• A supportive network of amazing volunteers and staff who pride themselves on the development of the gallery and providing mentorship
• Valuable hands on experience throughout every process of gallery operation
• Written references may be provided for volunteers and interns, in addition to the potential to accrue course credits
• The chance to work one on one with local and national artists during installations and events

Before becoming the Manager of Volunteer Programs I spent several years volunteering in a variety of different roles. The rewarding relationships I formed with visiting artists, volunteers and staff kept me coming back to The Soap Factory year after year.

Many volunteers stay for one season, others for close to a decade. It is impossible to quantify the positive experience that every single volunteer has at The Soap Factory. I encourage you to get involved in any capacity!
