Zack Zook (b. 1984) is an American arts administrator, curator, photographer, writer, and entrepreneur. He is the Founder and Executive Director of 81C Arts, a nonprofit arts and education organization based in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the creator of the 81C brand, a multidisciplinary platform that includes contemporary arts programs, boutique hospitality, and cultural event spaces. 

Zook is also known for his contributions to independent literary culture in Brooklyn, his work in historic preservation and community development in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, and construction / project mgmt services in the USVI. 

"My work as a photographer is rooted in affection for urbanized Street Photography, which I began producing in New York City as a child. My work in portraiture, nature, and in the studio, is influenced by this perspective and therefor strives to capture scenes that expose viewers to contradictions in human expectations."
