Calvin Cox Memorial Fund for Emerging Artists

Calvin Cox
Aug. 5, 1993 – Nov. 2, 2023

Calvin Cox was a multifaceted artist. He had a passion for Halloween and ran a haunt in Dundas, Ontario. He did makeup, had his own makeup line and loved modeling. He loved walking with friends through the Royal Botanical Gardens to enjoy nature. Zoology was a passion: he owned multiple animals including snakes and alligators. He performed and volunteered for Burlington Student Theatre.

Calvin was a mascot for the Hamilton Ticats and Bulldogs. On Tuesday nights you could often find him at Woody’s on Church Street supporting the open-stage drag performers. He loved the rollercoasters at Canada’s Wonderland, especially Yukon Striker and Shockwave.
