WE MAKE SPACE.
For art. For ideas. For people. For possibility.
DUPP&SWAT is a creative ecosystem in Charlotte, NC where people come to create, gather, experiment, discover and belong.
Since 2010, we've been making room for what happens next.
NOT ONE THING. A WORLD OF THEM.
What started as a private creative studio has grown into an interconnected world of spaces, experiences and ideas spanning art, events, retail, education, beauty and community impact.
Different expressions. Different ways in.
Same belief: people need space to become, create and connect.
