Burke Residency Program

Thank you for 5+ years of the Burke Residency Program!
Each quarter, we showcased collections from emerging clothing designers and artists in our storefront space in downtown Long Beach through our Burke Residency Program. We shared the story of the brand and artist in the shop with their collection, as well as featuring an interview with them on our blog. We loved using our residency program to showcase emerging brands and artists, and designs focused around our ethos of sustainability and contemporary design.
