The Venue

The Long Room is a unique 2,800-square foot event space with a character unlike most other venues in Charlotte. Created by two professional performing artists in collaboration with many other Charlotte creatives, it is a space that celebrates creativity, expression, and community. A viewing balcony overlooks the length of the primary event space where premium amenities set the stage for an event, including a state-of-the-art sprung hardwood dance floor. It is a place where the arts can flourish, creativity is fostered and moments are celebrated.
