Woodward Gallery

The Woodward Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery that opened in April 1994 under the incorporation G.O.L.A, Inc. (Gallery of Living Artists). The inaugural exhibition was held in Times Square at the Roundabout Theatre Company. Their gallery space started in New York City at 419 Lafayette Street and moved to SoHo at 476 Broome Street. In May 2007, Woodward Gallery relocated to the private building at 133 Eldridge Street, between Broome and Delancey on the Lower East Side of New York City. [1] Director John Woodward has also been the Art Curator for the historic Four Seasons Restaurant through its closing in 2016 and for the New York based, spacious Gourmet Garage locations for 15 years now. [2] Woodward Gallery is owned by John Woodward and Kristine Woodward.

Woodward Gallery features emerging and established artists and shows Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Color Field painting, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Neo-expressionism, and Street Art among other movements. The gallery has a Project Space directly across from the gallery that supports urban artists. The Gallery’s exhibition space rotates up to 6 shows a year.[3]

Woodward Gallery and CARSI labs, Hunter College, CUNY with the cooperation of the City of New York, developed a scientific art exhibition of 9/11 that has traveled the country since 2002. A decade later, including the advances made in ten years, Woodward Gallery brought the show back to New York City before donating it to the Memorial Museum at Ground Zero.[4]

Woodward has additional project space in NYC with the ground floor windows at new 6,000 sq/ft Gourmet Garage SOHO, 489 Broome Street, with six to eight rotating exhibitions a year.[5] Director John Woodward is the curator at the historic Four Seasons Restaurant, 99 East 52nd Street NYC; his first exhibition there featured to largest Robert Indiana "Hope" canvases in the world.[6]
