The WHOADEGA
Part shop, part gallery, part event space. It is where the bleaching and the painting actually happen, where the collective hangs its work, and where the music runs late on a Wednesday.
What the WHOADEGA is
One of one, off the rack
Hand-bleached and hand-painted pieces, finished in the back of this building. There is one of each. Everything on the website is here, plus the things that never make it to the website because they sell on the floor first.
See what is in →SH!FT GalleryWalls that change
The gallery half. Art shows hung by artists from the WHOA collective and from around San Diego, swapped out through the year. Free to walk in and look.
Meet the artists →The event spaceOpen late, most weeks
DJ sets, open decks, art nights and whatever else fits through the door. WHOA Wednesday runs weekly, free entry, all ages. The room is the reason the shop stays open past shop hours.
See what is on →WHOA Wednesday
Doors at 7, music until 11. Free entry, all ages. Resident and guest DJs, open decks, and whoever the room brings in. It has run out of the back of this shop since before the shop was the shop.
What it has been
Nothing is on the books right now. Here is what the room has been doing.
