Open: Tues–Sat, 10 AM–6 PM

Get Directions

Contemporaries is a storefront studio project by Malika Leiper and Stephen Burks. Each month, their 400-square-foot space is transformed through project-based activations in and around the fields of design, architecture, art, and more. Neither a gallery, nor a store, nor a studio, Contemporaries is a space dedicated to our time and the limitless field of imagination.
