Banding Together

May 3, 2012 by Alexis Bo Leave a Comment

Chances are good you’ve seen a local band perform, sometimes amateurs, sometimes pros, but you can bet that every musician puts a lot of energy into each show. Most local bands, however, can’t stay afloat and it’s not surprising why, but here are three local bands that work it: Aviatrix  – Alexis (vocals), Brian (guitar), Luis (bass), Adam (drums). Aviatrix has been on SLC … [Read more...]

Ray’s Barbershop: Classics Never Get Old

May 2, 2012 by Paige Wiren Leave a Comment

Words to describe the service Ray Francom and his professional staff offer men at their new downtown SLC location just blocks from City Creek. Pampering sounds too girly, but the personal touch men receive is more than just a generic haircut. Ray’s Barber Shop is a comfortable place for men to come and relax while getting an indulgent shave, cut or shoe shine. Ray expertly … [Read more...]

Trash Becomes Treasure—Utah artists with a found vision

April 21, 2012 by Sara Howe Leave a Comment

scott-whitaker

Art is In the Trash Can of the Beholder. Ignore the critics. There is no line between art and trash in Utah. Junk art is not new, not as an art form or the works themselves. Comprised from landfill bound stuff, this style exceeds the sum of its parts. These mixed media compositions turn cast off items with no value into aesthetic fun. Art can be commentary, satire, … [Read more...]

The Art of Making Great Chocolate

April 20, 2012 by Linda Wheatley Leave a Comment

chocolate covered stawberries

Cummings Studio Chocolates and Hatch Family Chocolates reveal the fine art to fine taste. Smooth and subtle or dark and intense? Do these words describe a confection or a romantic encounter? There is a reason chocolate and love are intimately entwined. The complex chemistry of the cocoa plant mimics the neuro-transmitters the brain identifies with passion. Utah’s love … [Read more...]

Captain Captain: A sample of Utah’s vibrant art scene

April 20, 2012 by Al Sacharov Leave a Comment

trent-cal

Captain Captain Art Studio is a vibrant,artistic mecca on the west side. It’s a nice little touch that the Captain Captain Art Studio has two artists with similar names - Trent and Trent. Passing by the brick warehouse-looking studio at 825 South and 500 West, one could hardly suspect the vibrant spacious studios found within. The Trents - Trent Alvey and Trent Call - are two … [Read more...]

It was a beautiful, spring-like mid-March day in Salt Lake City. People thronged into the Sheraton Hotel for the 24th annual Art and Soup celebration. The purpose of this event is to raise money for Community Nursing Services. Most of the artists donate 40 percent of their proceeds to this cause. With John Collins as the featured artist this year and an impressive ice … [Read more...]

City Creek Center: The true cost of the Mormon mall

April 5, 2012 by Richard Markosian 5 Comments

Five years ago Utah Stories produced its first documentary video asking why Crossroads Mall and the ZCMI Center were being torn down just thirty-five years after they were built to construct the City Creek Center. This was a question no other media outlet was asking. Instead, all they reported on was how wonderful the City Creek Center would be, and how great it was that the … [Read more...]

Siblings in Business

March 15, 2012 by Paige Wiren Leave a Comment

Siblings by birth. Business partners by choice. By design sibs already have an established relationship, but does family connection translate to successful commercial pursuits? What’s it like when sisters and brothers decide to capitalize on their relationship? Vicki PoVey knows. She and her sisters have been running Four Sisters Furniture in Riverdale for over 20 years. … [Read more...]

Ogden Art House Cinema

March 13, 2012 by Eric-Nelson Leave a Comment

Nestled quaintly on Ogden’s historic 25th Street, there sits the Art House Cinema 502. It is Ogden’s premier art cinema, showing first-run films that include hard to find foreign movies, documentaries, local shorts and far-from-center features at weekend late-night screenings. This cinema may have only 28 seats, and the “502” refers to its square footage, but it shows movies … [Read more...]
