A Celebration. A Farewell. A Legacy.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

For over a decade, hotbox studio (aka M Gallery)<\/strong> has been a quiet spark in Calgary\u2019s creative scene. An artist-curated gallery born from resilience, loss, and the love of making. What began as a small rebuilt space after the 2012 fire became a haven for ceramicists, painters, sculptors, and dreamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bNow, as the curtains close, we invite you to gather one last time. To share art, stories, and the spirit that made this place so unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 A Brief History<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200bIn 2012, lightning struck the Solid Woodwork building, igniting a fire that reshaped its structure and its destiny. When the ashes settled, a small unused space remained. Two years later, following the sudden passing of his mother, Eric Sundstrom<\/strong> transformed that space into something beautiful: a gallery dedicated to her ceramics and woodblock prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bThat first show brought both closure and community. It marked the birth of hotbox studio<\/strong>, which went on to host eleven more exhibitions and even an evening of Shakespeare by Bob Greenwood. Hotbox became a living time capsule of Calgary\u2019s independent art scene, until the pandemic drew its final curtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bNow, we open our doors one last time to honour the artists who shaped this story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
