The old building has been repurposed into several different shops and spaces, each one with it's own unique flare. There is a private parking lot, although it's tight quarters. This would be the time to bring your Prius rather than your F-350, if you have that choice. I'm still getting acquainted with all this place has to offer, but I plan to check back occasionally. If nothing but to visit the Buddhist Fellowship and then have brunch at Roots Café, I'll be back.

I'm not sure where to begin. This is the anti-mall. The haven of local art, artists, handmade goods…read moreand one-of-a-kind works of art. And more people need to know about it. The first time I visited the studios here was almost a year ago and I was immediately charmed. The building is actually an old radio factory - the historic Baldwin factory -but has now been completely transformed and separated into spaces for over 20 local artists with disciplines ranging from pottery to fused glass to traditional oil and acrylics and around to salvaged wood items. It is a great artistic melting pot in the middle of East Millcreek. Each artist has their own space, although in some cases the distinction is a bit more fluid. For the most part, studios are only open to the public during special events like gallery strolls, but there are a few exceptions. You can find Urbanscrap Studios open more often than others. Here you'll find a boutique with earth-friendly materials ranging from scrap metal jewelry to glass belt buckles, and the salvaged wood cutting boards, wine racks, and some sweet flattened glass vases. You'll also find the (new) Old Flamingo open with regular hours. This is the eastern most part of the building, and it actually fronts 2300 East. Most recently an alternative church, it's been freshly converted to a space where several artists are now displaying their one-of-a-kind furniture and home decor. There's also food afoot in the space. Roots Café is just weeks away from their grand opening. They'll have breakfast and lunch items, a sweet sweet patio, sandwiches, paninis and focus on locally sourced and sustainable food. Can't wait! In the summer this is home to the Millcreek Community Market, a market vending food and wares from local artisans, many of which have spaces here at Flynn. With so many different disciplines and personalities around the space you might expect chaos or a feeling of disconnect. But that couldn't be farther from the truth. There's a vibe of creativity, of real passion, and of community. It may be one of the state's funkiest and finest examples of local talent packed into a pretty sweet setting.

If you want selection, helpful creative direction, and intelligent insight on how to make the most of your space or pieces, I can't recommend this place enough. I've been able to work with them on several occasions and everyone has been nothing short of lovely. Their work nothing short of the highest quality and attention to detail. I recommend attending the (mostly) monthly 'Gallery Stroll' Wine Nights and see for yourself. We've found it a great way to pre-game a date night or night out!

Love Alpine Art & Frame…read more This last year, I've been buying original art by queer artists, and being in Utah, I was concerned when it came time to frame them. Then I drove by Alpine Art and saw a rainbow flag for Pride month, so knew it was a safe space. We've had 8 or so pieces framed by Alpine in the last year, and every time it's been a collaboration with their team on what works best. Wonderful results. Friendly team that really takes the time.

In no particular order: -- It's a locals' gallery, so you're seeing stuff from, and supporting local artists. -- It's a co-op gallery, so artists are invested in its success. -- There are a variety of media represented. I saw polymer clay, traditional paintings, photography, jewelry, and so on... -- The nice lady running the place (manning the desk) was one of the artists whose work you see. See also, co-op gallery. -- Nothing is terribly expensive. I mean, it's original art so don't go expecting to pick up a ton of cheap-o stuff, but even so, some of the smaller pieces and jewelry are really affordable. More local galleries like this would never be a bad thing!

I wanted something that matched our house better and was bigger and Matt did not disappoint! It is beautiful and very sturdy. I was wondering how he would make it sturdy enough to clamp monitor arms to it. It holds the monitor arms just fine and does it while looking so much better than my old desk top. I love it and appreciate that now it's not just a mass fabricated particle board desk top but a hand crafted work of art!

All About Pallets is "saving trees one pallet at a time" by creating items using repurposed wood and metal. Co-owners Matt and Bill Willahan and their team craft rustic-looking shelves, tables, beds, custom bars, and even cornhole games. There's also visual work--from collegiate tables & wallboards (their focus is Utah, USU, and BYU) to flags to maps. The stuff is beautiful ... pricy, but beautiful. If they don't have what you want, they'll customize it for you. Hands off the World Map ... it's mine! ;)

You know that really pretentious, supposedly "artsy" pottery that you may see on display but never…read moreknow what to do with it? Well, that's the exact opposite of the stuff you find at this studio. Erin's pottery just may be the brightest, happiest, cheeriest and most useful pottery you'll ever find. For example, I've yet to see a piece of her art that's dark or depressing. She uses really zippy colors; bright greens, reds, blues and yellows and everything has a purpose. And it's totally affordable. From the little (adorable!) toothpick holders to the larger bowls and dishes, they make great gifts. Think: housewarming. The good news is she's local and has a studio in East Millcreek. She has a small space at the Millcreek Art Space at Flynn Artipelago. I've been there a handful of times and seen her stuff. However, this is her working studio and isn't open for shopping per se. You can get in touch with the folks at Flynn Artipelago and find out the next time they're opening the studio for a stroll or make a private appointment with Erin. She's also sold at Craft Lake City in the past, and I believe was there during the Millcreek Community Market in 2011. Just another great little treasure. Why get a chips and salsa platter shipped from China when you can get a really great one right here in Utah and shake the hand of the artist who made it?
