Venue Overview

Blume Studios is a reimagined creative warehouse built to change often and boldly. Located within the newly announced Iron District, a 55.5-acre development connecting Uptown Charlotte and South End, the venue honors the site's industrious past while leaning fully into what's next.

Once home to Charlotte Pipe and Foundry fro more than a century, the space now welcomes artists, audiences, and creative risk-takers. As the Iron District's first tenant, Blume Studios sets the tone for a destination driven by experience.

Stage 1

Big, flexible, and always changing, this space is designed for large-scale immersive installations, rotating art experiences, and high-energy social moments.

By day, it becomes a playground for interactive storytelling and visual spectacle. By night, it fills with music, movement, cocktails and conversation. The bar is buzzing, the room is alive. Stage 1 invites you to explore, linger, and see where the night takes you.

Stage 2

Stage 2 brings the action up close. Designed for intimate, performance-driven experiences, this space is perfect for immersive theater, magic, and storytelling that pulls ou right into the moment. Every seat feels personal. Every reaction matters.

Performances unfold around you, not just in front of you. Stage 2 is where connection is immediate, the energy is electric, and the experience stays with you long after the lights come up.
