The newest gallery at Chad Mize’s SPACE is set to make its debut this weekend. HOT BOX is a 40-person Pride-themed art exhibit, and its opening celebrations are Friday-Sunday, June 9-11.

Tons of St. Pete’s most celebrated artists are creating works for the gallery, which will be on display all weekend. HOT BOX is open Friday 7-11 pm, Saturday 4-9 pm, and Sunday 11 am – 3 pm.

Friday’s festivities begin at 7 pm and include a Dirty John’s performance, the It’s Giving Literary poetry reading with celebrated local poets, music by DJ Repete, food from Shiso Crispy, and cocktail bars from St. Petersburg Distillery. There will be local shops on hand with Atlas Body + Home, Radix Collection, and Wide Sky.

The gallery will be open Saturday and Sunday, as well, with performances and festivities each night, including Poetry & Chill at noon on Sunday. Friday and Saturday evenings are both 18+ due to the nature of the Dirty John’s performances.

SPACE is located at 855 28th Street South, just across the street from The Factory. Mize and a group of other local artists banded together to create the new gallery space inside the old PSTA Bus Depot on the St. Pete Distillery property, which officially opened in March of this year. The plan is to host quarterly galleries showcasing local artists, such as this month’s HOT BOX.

If you can’t make it to the opening weekend, or if you want to be able to bring the whole family, HOT BOX will have a second weekend of festivities on Saturday and Sunday, June 17 and 18. And while you’re in the area for HOT BOX, be sure and hop across the street to see Tommy Bayot’s first ever solo exhibition ‘Lines’ at The Factory.
