SHiFT Charlotte is shutting down
We had been holding out hope that we could hold SHiFT Charlotte again at a future date once things settled down with Covid-19. However, after careful consideration of what the rules for large events will be for the foreseeable future, we have made the very difficult decision that the best path forward is to dissolve the LLC and close down our production.
Like so many small businesses right now, we do not have the resources to overcome the loss of revenue caused by the pandemic. Add to that the future of holding large events in 2020 or 2021 is bleak and as that is our sole product, the decision to close our doors is the only one that makes sense at this time.
SHiFT Charlotte was created as an act of service for our community. For 11 years, our goal of bringing people together in joy, learning, and celebration was our focus and one that I am proud to think we accomplished. So reaching out to you now with the news of our closing is so very difficult.
All of our vendors, sponsors, volunteers and ticket holders have been sent emails with information particular to their situation.
Finally, I am incredibly grateful to each and every person who has helped us grow this local grassroots event over the past 11 years. We know that the joy, connection and learning will live on and we will focus on that as the legacy of SHiFT Charlotte.
With love & gratitude,
Lori
