Revisioning The Future
Curio, Craft & Conjure is a mother-daughter brick-and-mortar magickal shop in the heart of NoDa - the arts district of Charlotte, NC. It has been our labor of love for over six years. As co-owners, Gianna and I are present and hands-on daily in the second-floor space in the 97-year-old building we currently occupy. We invite people to discover their brand of Magick and enjoy sharing our practices with those who enter our doors. Dedicated to providing space for local vendors to share their crafts, we also provide the support, resources, tools, and curios for our clients' spiritual growth and practice and have created a comfortable space for people to sit, chat, laugh, shed tears, meet like-minded souls, and share ideas about spirituality.
Recent economic challenges have slowed sales everywhere, and Curio, Craft & Conjure is no exception. We have watched our sister stores pivot or bale, and to be transparent, with continued rent increases, our current location will not be sustainable.
After careful consideration, we’ve decided to rethink our approach and find fresh and new ways to serve our community.
OUR VISION
We see ourselves in a new ground floor location, transforming our store into a dedicated, inclusive community space with expanded hours, an expanded curated inventory, exclusive services, unique in-person and online workshops, healing sessions, social gatherings, and more - in a space where we can control our expenses.
What We Need (& What You Get!)
We need your support to make this dream a reality. The goal is to buy a building that can accommodate our vision - where Curio, Craft & Conjure will have a permanent home and our legacy can continue.
How you can help: As a female, POC, and LGBTQ-owned business, it’s not easy for us to make a dream like this come true. Here are a few ways you can help us:
1. A financial contribution: Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to our $100,000 goal. These funds go directly towards the down payment and outfitting of the space.
