The Barnum Factory

Allowing you to set up shop and collaborate. 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 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.
