Founding member of The 621 Gallery and Sculpture Garden, Charles Hook, died early Monday morning after a two year battle with cancer. He was 59. Hook was a professor of Art at Florida State University and an internationally known sculptor. He is survived by wife sculptor Deborah LaGrasse and daughters Cayce Hook and Julia Hook.

On March 6, 2008 the gallery broke ground on The Charles Hook Sculpture Garden at The 621 Gallery. This renovated sculpture garden will honor Charles Hook by creating 16 spaces for outdoor contemporary sculpture throughout the Railroad Square Art Park. The gallery is currently hosting a National Outdoor Sculpture Competition the winners of which will receive an 18 month exhibition at The Charles Hook Sculpture Garden at The 621 Gallery. The inaugural ceremony for the renovated space and award ceremony for the Outdoor Sculpture Competition will take place on September 5, 2008.

It is because of Charles Hook and the founding members of The 621 Gallery that Tallahassee has a space for experimental contemporary art and outdoor contemporary sculpture. Thank you, Charles, for planting those seeds which have grown so vibrant and will continue to bring life to the Railroad Square Art Park for generations.

If you are looking for something to do for Friday night, January 18th, come out to LeMoyne Art Gallery to support The 621 Gallery's Artist-in-Residence, John Lytle Wilson.

James P. Glaser, a former U.S. Marine who served in Vietnam, has been exhibiting his work nationally since 1972 and is represented in numerous collections including the Pillsbury Foundation, Phillip Levin, and White Eagle Corporation. His multifaceted, texturally rich works are composed of fragmented wood shapes that represent both representational and abstract forms.

Joan Matey is a graphic artist who creates mixed media assemblages, "to release her frustrations with society and human behavior." Matey generally works in a small format, presenting serious subject matter under the guise of something sweet and funny.

John Lytle Wilson is a contemporary pop painter whose graphic imagery stems from an interest in the power of images, from advertising and product design to museum art and ancient iconography. Wilson's animal and robot imagery symbolizes traditional subject matter and themes such as free will, consciousness and mortality.

LeMoyne Center for the Visual Arts is located at 125 N. Gadsden Street, Tallahassee, just one block north of Park Avenue. Opening night is Friday January 18th from 6-9pm (members preview 5-6) including a Gallery talk with the artists at 6pm. Regular hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10am - 5pm and Sundays 1-5pm.
