Please join us in celebrating the life of work of renowned Bay Area artist Tyler James Hoare, whose gallery became The Bay, and who became one of the first and the most enduring of the Mudflats Sculptors. Hoare, who passed away in early 2023, created ephemeral driftwood and found object sculptures that delighted Bay Area residents and visitors for decades — most famously, his Red Baron and Sopwith Camel series.
The Compound Gallery is honored to host this memorial for Tyler, which will include speakers and a pop-up show featuring some of Hoare’s works. We hope to see you August 20 as we remember the legacy left by this remarkable man. The schedule for the event is as follows:
- Welcome & Introduction
- Family Remembrance
- Musical Tribute
- Audience Tributes
- Closing
Following the program, please join the family for refreshments in the gallery.
In honor of Tyler’s wishes to share his artworks with the world and his commitment to supporting the gallery he worked with, we will be offering a selection of Tyler’s sculptures for sale. Proceeds benefit the Hoare family and support the gallery.
