A place for makers, musicians, small business owners, and entrepreneurs to set up shop, collaborate, and curate a community. The Barnum Factory has studio, office, warehouse, and gathering space for rent with flexible and creative lease terms.
Our brand vision is to position our building and space to become a central figure in the cultural fabric of the city of Des Moines. We are innovators. We are collaborators. We are artists. We are rule breakers. We are all makers inspired by the need to make a difference in a city poised to make a difference. We are advocates dedicated to curating a community more conscientious of its identity and how it can transform the Des Moines cultural landscape for the better.
We must position ourselves to play a key role in the success of our community of individuals and businesses. Facilitating a robust program of unique and diverse rental space opportunities is integral to the vitality of our organization. Our perspective must be dynamic and flexible while allowing for the engagement of a broader audience that can access and understand our voice and story.
We must drive the conversation on contemporary environmental, design and cultural issues in our city and state by cultivating a robust and dynamic public forum that discusses the relevance of a highly diverse and vibrant culture and the magnitude of its importance.
