LOCATION We are located in Railroad Square Art Park an historically industrial district turned artists' community located just south of the Civic Center, right after the railroad tracks, and just before Florida A&M University. You can enter the park from Railroad Ave., also known, throughout various parts of the city, as Wahnish Way, Macomb St., Martin Luther King Blvd, and Old St. Augustine. On the first Friday of every month, the students, artists, studios, shops, and galleries of Railroad Square participate in the city-wide "First Friday Gallery Hop," and open their doors to the public between 6 and 9pm. There is music, food, and lots of art and invention. Come and spend the evening with us... walk the square, talk to local artists, shop, eat, dance, enjoy the weather! From September to July, the climate in Tallahassee is decidedly charming--but August is an acquired taste. During the "dog days" as they are known, we experience temperatures in the low 100’s, frequently reach 100% humidity, and rain occurs almost daily in the form of severe thunderstorms. Since the 621 Main Gallery does not have air conditioning, we close the doors for the entire month of August. |
FACILITIES
621 Gallery has: • 2300 square feet of exhibition space in the main gallery • 400 sq. ft. of air conditioned exhibition or meeting space in the Nan Boynton Memorial Gallery • A large space in front of the facility for outdoor gatherings • A large refrigerator and utility sink |

ABOUT THIS SITE This site aims to answer frequently asked questions about 621 Gallery. Just what does a non-profit gallery devoted to the work of regional, contemporary artists do? We direct our energy daily toward fundraising, and the curation and presentation of works of art. It's a big job. And it's done by a small group of committed volunteers, with help from countless others who understand the role of art in the life of a community. Visitors, sponsors, artists, and volunteers alike, we hope you enjoy this virtual representation of our organization. Thank you for your interest in 621 Gallery. Gillian Canning |
