Years ago, The Soap Factory did actually churn out soap. Now, the non-profit gallery that’s taken over the space will be presenting works from nine emerging artists from around the country in their new show, Americana. The artists take on questions of the American experience through drawings, sculptures, video and installation work. The exhibit explores the notion of Americana in a very apt space—the building itself, with its industrial past and decayed architecture, recalls a different age in American history.
