"My daughter and I both attended the Cathrine Edlinger-Kunze workshop and were delighted to find this gem of a place. The instruction and expertise of Cathrine was only matched by the friendly and very accommodating staff! The building has a beautiful patio for lunches and breaks! Gigi, Carlos, Ker are all the best! I can’t recommend Woodward enough-a lovely experience. The wine at the end of the day was the icing on the cake!"

"We had a great time at the Cathrine Edlinger-Kunz show at this delightful location, not only seeing the Cathrine Edlinger-Kunz pieces but also seeing so many very interesting works by local artists and meeting the artists, too. The location is lovely, everyone was friendly and helpful, and meeting the owner and some of her friends and family was great fun, too. The Woodward Contemporary Gallery is our new reason to visit Old Town even more often!"

"...a long time vision of the phenomenal Gigi Woodward, has come to fruition with a gallery space, an open studio downstairs and private studios upstairs. Woodward Contemporary will bring in top notch artists to teach workshop and bring in new life to all artists looking to grow their practice, or just want to explore expression within themselves. This state of the art facility in San Diego's beautiful Old Town is full of heart, and history as well as light and dare I say love. Come paint with us!!!!"
