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. It is owned by John Woodward and Kristine Woodward.

The gallery space started in New York City at 419 Lafayette Street and moved to SoHo at 476 Broome Street. Woodward Gallery moved to the private building at 133 Eldridge Street in May 2007 on the Lower East Side of New York City.[1] Woodward Gallery relocated to their current ground floor space ten years later at 132A Eldridge Street between Broome and Delancey.

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 Woodward Project Space on Eldridge Street has supported urban art murals from 2008 to 2016. The Gallery’s public exhibition space featured up to 6 shows a year for 23 years.

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 traveled the country since 2002. A decade later Woodward Gallery brought the show back to New York City before donating it to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Woodward Gallery has been an advocate for art in New York Public Schools with charitable donations and class tours.[2][3]
