Our story

More than a building; an invitation.

The Alley is a living creative ecosystem located on Center Street, where small businesses, artists, events, and community intersect. It's an environment designed for collaboration, experimentation, and connection.

Founded by Chelsea Funk and her daughter Caylee Funk — both lifelong Cache Valley residents — The Alley grew from a shared entrepreneurial vision into a commitment to building space for connection, creativity, and collaboration.

Art is what we use to decorate space. Music is what we use to decorate time. Everything we do here lives somewhere between those two ideas.
