WE MAKE SPACE.
For art. For ideas. For people. For possibility.
DUPP&SWAT is a creative company in Charlotte, NC creating spaces, brands, experiences and platforms rooted in art, culture and community.
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, brands, experiences and ideas spanning art, events, retail, education, beauty and community impact.
Different expressions. Different ways in.
One creative company behind them.
Same belief: people need space to become, create and connect.
