CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – According to an email sent to members, and confirmed by a note on the establishment’s front door, Common House – a social club on West Market St. in Charlottesville, has closed due to a dispute with its landlord.

The closure came Thursday, just as the venue was set to host a number of events connected to the annual Tom Tom Festival, including the April 25 Prom Prom, a festival-ending dance party.

“We are in active conversation with the operating company and the property owners about a path forward, and will have more to report by Monday about events that remain at Common House or are hosted at alternate venues,” Tom Tom Foundation executive director Paul Beyer told Cville Right Now in an email.

The festival starts Tuesday and runs through Saturday. Common House was set to host a number of roundtables and meetings, in addition to the Prom Prom.

In an email to members, a copy of which was shared with Cville Right Now, Common House CEO Ben Wood called the development “difficult news.”

“We are deeply empathetic to the disruption this causes,” Wood wrote. “Common House is more than just a building – it is a home for our members – and it is deeply disturbing to see that community disrupted.”
