DAS is where artists shape the narrative—from exhibitions and artist residencies to pop-up studios and collaborative projects. Nestled between the Cargo District and Soda Pop District in Wilmington NC, we’re more than a gallery—we’re a platform for exchange, experimentation, and storytelling.

Founded by artists, for artists, DAS is rooted in community and cultural relevance. Our programming bridges local voices with global perspectives through artist-led events that spark dialogue, inspire curiosity, and cultivate new forms of expression.

Whether you’re an artist seeking conversation, a collector exploring new horizons, or a visitor curious about the unfolding of bold artistic engagements, DAS Contemporary is where contemporary art expands beyond boundaries.
