Space and Faders is a South Salt Lake business where artists of all kinds — from bands to podcasters to painters to poets — can hone their craft and connect with others in the local arts community.
Space and Faders offers bands, podcasters, painters, poets and more rooms to rent out, and provides space for them to connect with other local artists.
At the center of the space is a lounge with couch seating, a couple of arcade games and walls littered with art and concert posters, where artists can meet and hang out with each other. There’s also a studio that can be rented out for podcasts, videography or photography. Still in the process of building the place, Thorpe has a vision for even more room options — which could include an editing workspace, a recording studio and other multi-purpose rooms.
Thorpe first bought the 13,000 square feet building — which used to be an FBI call center — in South Salt Lake to bring his vision to life in February 2020. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the following month, Thorpe was unable to do his regular job of managing stages.And there was plenty of work to do at the space. On average, Thorpe said he’s probably spent 12-18 hours a day there since then — doing about 90% of the work himself with occasional help from friends.
