Dupp&Swat

Dupp&Swat offers a flexible creative studio and event space in Charlotte, North Carolina. Organisers can hire the venue for celebrations, workshops, meetings, photo shoots, launches, pop-ups and other gatherings. Its adaptable setting suits artists and creative businesses, as well as non-profits, companies and individuals planning an occasion.

The space is available by reservation, with rates tailored to the type of booking and organiser. Tables and chairs are included, and the venue has practical amenities such as Wi-Fi, heating and air conditioning, a refrigerator, microwave, restroom, projector and screen, smart television and Bluetooth speaker. Organisers can arrange their own decorations, and there is an option to use nearby outdoor space with prior approval. The venue can also accommodate art displays on its walls for an additional fee.

Bookings include time for set-up and clearing the space, so planners should account for this when choosing their hours. The team provides a booking enquiry process and confirms reservations once the required agreement and deposit are received. Organisers are responsible for returning the room to its original layout after their event. Alcohol sales require the appropriate permit and a licensed bartender, and on-site cooking needs management approval.

Beyond venue hire, Dupp&Swat is a creative studio and gallery with exhibitions and programming connected to art, culture and community. For event planners, the core offering is a bookable, adaptable space that can be shaped around different event formats and audiences.
