Caleb and Hillary opened Blonde Grizzly starting as a little kiosk at Layton Hills Mall selling ZeroFriends t-shirts. What started small quickly grew into a full art gallery in downtown Salt Lake City. We hosted gallery strolls, curated group and solo art shows, and collaborated with artists to design and sell limited-edition t-shirts for each show.

Blonde Grizzly became a gathering place for creativity — we even threw a tribute show for the Utah Jazz that packed the house. Hillary created all the visuals and helped run the shows behind the scenes. Caleb ran the day to day in the shop.

The gallery closed in 2012. It was a wild, creative ride — full of art, hustle, and a lot of heart.
