"Hi, my name is Corey Bullough. I'm the owner of Fice Gallery in Salt Lake City, Utah.My name is Jordan Simmons. I am a jack-of-all-trades here..."

"...Project Manager, if you will. I'm here at Fice in Salt Lake City. The definition of Fice is it's the root of feisty. If I was meeting someone and I was to describe Fice, for me..."

"...I would let them know that it's a place of community that helps build a culture within Salt Lake City. A place like ours will always be different in the respect to..."

"...it's not about making an extra dollar, right? We sell the shoes for retail and that's it, and it doesn't matter. We could sell a lot of them for more than that..."

"...but that's not the point. The point is to get shoes on people's feet. We do at least 12 art shows a year, one per month. Sometimes in the summer we'll do three or four at one moment."

"It's just always been a rotating space of things that inspire me, but also things that inspire everyone who works here. We all like similar stuff, but we all like different stuff and we share that with each other all the time."

"I always came up in street art. Freight trains and subway art has always really spoken to me."

"I've been to New York City a handful of times and finally found the Lower East Side and a couple shops down there really inspired me to bring that back to Utah."

"When I moved out here, I honestly was not expecting to find what I found in Salt Lake. It's dynamic growth within the past six years..."

"...has been really amazing, whether it's artists' shows that people are doing, collectives that are popping up. There's so many different art scenes going on and I'm just very grateful to be a part of one of them."

"I see clothing as an extension of what's on our walls, where it's like, how can I involve as many people as possible and, yeah, get their art on the streets."

"Summarize all of my years here at Fice in one word: Family. Nice. Oh, wow. Yeah, I was going to say community."

"Yeah, I guess it goes kind of hand in hand with family. Yeah, for sure, always."
