Did you know that part of our mural was dreamed up and created by a Mother/Daughter Team? Meet Shannantay Lewis and her daughter, Jaden.
Art is important to their bond and a way they spend quality time together. Everyone at The Factory has enjoyed watching how they’ve worked together to create one of the beautiful pieces that make up our new street art mural.
Join us Friday from 4-6 PM starting in The Local 97 Gallery for a chance to see the mural and the work of this amazing duo and the other incredible artists who have participated in our mural. #mywhywednesday #thebarnumfactory #thebarnumfactorymakers #rebelartalliance
Meet Iven Jones! Iven is on the board of the Rebel Art Alliance. He is also one of the artists hard at work on the street art mural on our second floor.
Watching Iven’s process on his portion of the mural and how he has collaborated with the other artists has been amazing. We can’t wait for you to see the entire mural on July 22nd during our Mural Unveiling and for you to get to know more about Iven and his why.

My Why Wednesday: Chelsea Jacobs
Meet Chelsea Jacobs (www.chelseajacobsstudio.com). This week we sat down with Chelsea to talk about why she creates, why she paints, and why she keeps working on her craft. We weren't sure it was possible to love Chelsea anymore than we all do already, then we listened to her talk about her why and well...just watch and you'll see why we love her the way we do.
Chelsea is incredibly talented and also happens to be the first artist in our very first art series for The Local 97 Gallery Space. The Opening Reception for HUSH will be held this Friday evening from 5-9pm. We hope you are able to join us so you can fall in love with Chelsea's art the same way we have. #mywhywednesdays #chelseajacobs #thebarnumfactory
This week we sat down with Maggie Goldhammer, owner of Henna By Maggie, to talk about her art, henna and her why.
Maggie has been an incredible edition to our community. Her energy is infectious and her studio is incredibly beautiful. We feel lucky to have Maggie as part of the soul of The Factory. #mywhywednesday
Yesterday you got a chance to see some amazing photos from Cazzie Hammond of Rebel Art Alliance as part of a social media take over. Today we are giving you a chance to learn her “Why.”
We love having Cazzie as part of the community that makes up The Factory. Her spirit, talent and determination help to make this place feel alive. Watching her work is an honor. #mywhywednesday
#MyWhyWednesday with Dom Russell of Tha Füt.
We are so excited to launch our brand new series, #MyWhyWednesday. This is a chance to give you a peek inside the minds of the creatives that call The Barnum Factory home. A chance to learn what gets them up every morning and keeps them going.
First up, Dom Russell of Tha Füt.
Being able to provide a home to and support to artists like Dom and Tha Füt is what gives The Factory it's spirit and soul. Without the people who create and collaborate here, we would be just another warehouse.

A grotesque but sapient building being brought to life in an unorthodox cultural experiment. The Barnum Factory has a website. Check it out: www.thebarnumfactory.com.
Another insanely perfect design by the Jeremiah Elbel.
We now have beer on tap at The Factory, and poured our first draw in a custom mug made by the hardworking & talented Jarrod Fawks from Fawks Photography & Ceramics.
Little behind the back bags on this beautiful Sunday at The Factory.
We're a small Mom and Pop Shop, so work happens on nights and weekends. This Sunday we made the most of the dreary weather by continuing to paint inside. #blackisthenewblack
