Browsing the latest artistic hotspot during the last Gallery Stroll of 2015.
Every year, rather than waiting until just before Christmas, the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll bumps the December event up to the first Friday of the month. Often you're looking at the same show you saw the previous month, as there's little turnaround for many galleries to change their works in two weeks' time, or you're getting holiday boutiques where multiple artists sell their goods very quickly.
Brand new music from Angel Magic, Candy's River House, Soft Limbs and more.

Chatting with the first comedian who hit the new Wiseguys downtown stage.
Last month we saw the return of Wiseguys to downtown SLC, taking up residence in the Gateway Mall as a spot to revive the area and solidify itself as a major hotspot once again for standup comedy. The inaugural show featured Marcus, Guy Seidel and Spencer King, along with the evening's host and first comedian to take the new stage, Eric Ripley.
