Old Town Gallery Plans Two-Year, 2,000 Sq. Ft. Expansion

Capital Gains, 4/2/2008

The owner of Haze Gallery, Haze Hotwagner, is working on a two-year gallery expansion that will increase the gallery’s space from 1,500 square feet to 3,500 square feet.

In June, Hotwagner will temporarily move the gallery from its 119 E. Grand River location to a new spot next to the Creole Gallery on Turner Street. The gallery will remain in this building for a few years while Hotwagner renovates another Turner Street building, eventually doubling the size of the gallery.

“I decided I really liked the community atmosphere down here,” she says about Old Town Lansing.

Hotwagner says that since she opened her gallery 11 years ago, it’s turned into a “social enterprise.” Hotwagner wants to make sure she has enough room to accommodate artists and social groups.
