Minneapolis Indie Xpo August 21, 2010

the show

The Minneapolis Indie Xpo was founded in 2010 as a one-day show celebrating independent comics and Midwest cartoonists. It grew out of the local comics community’s desire to have its own venue for exhibition and was cobbled together by two veteran event coordinators who happen to be big comics fans. You can call us “MIX” and, as the name implies, expect a bake sale at the show.

our mission

MIX aspires to create new comics fans by reaching out to the local community and inviting them to learn to love comics again, or for the first time. MIX is devoted to the idea that creators deserve affordable exhibition space and increasing opportunities to make sales, fans and friends. By offering free admission and keeping table costs low, we hope to achieve these goals.

the venue

The Soap Factory is one of the largest gallery spaces in the Twin Cities. Its name is an artifact of the building’s previous life, in which it really was a soap factory.

The gallery today offers large, open rooms with thick wooden plank flooring and high ceilings. The space is not heated or air conditioned, so be prepared for whatever the weather may bring.
