Great works of art are great, in part, because they continue to have something to say to the present: They're both timebound and timeless. And, boy, does Gatsby have something to say to us in 2025.

On this 3 mile, easy-paced book club run, we explore several of the institutions and public places funded by Ellen Browning Scripps’ philanthropy. It wasn’t until 1900, when she was 61 years old, that she moved to La Jolla and would begin her philanthropic endeavors. The New York Times estimates she gave over $44 million in 2023 dollars before she died in 1932. A champion of many causes, Scripps funded institutions to support women’s education, the labor movement, and public access to science, the arts, and education. During the route for this Read & Run on the Road event, created and led by Chelsey Stone, we’ll stop at several different locations Ellen Browning Scripps funded and finish for a post-run discussion with historian Carol Olten at the La Jolla Historical Society.

San Diego, CA — Woodward Contemporary is proud to present "Subtle Elegance and Quiet Depth," a solo exhibition showcasing the evocative work of acclaimed artist Cathrine Edlinger-Kunze. Opening on June 7, this exhibition invites viewers to step into an intimate world of movement, memory, and emotion. Focusing primarily on the human form, Edlinger-Kunze captures the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability through her powerful depictions of figures, dancers, and performers. Her compositions are rich with human expression, blending gesture and emotion into works that resonate long after the viewer walks away. "Cathrine's work simmers with brilliance. There’s a quiet intensity that invites reflection — a beauty that unfolds with time," says Gigi Woodward, Owner and Curator of Woodward Contemporary. Visitors will experience a collection that is as graceful as it is grounded — paintings that don’t shout, but whisper, linger, and stay. Opening Reception: June 7, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. Visit: https://www.woodwardcontemporary.com/gallery-space Cathrine Edlinger-Kunze on Facebook / Instagram
