Indie Grits Labs

Indie Grits Labs is an arts organization that serves our Columbia community and the Southeast through three central pillars: Community-based art projects, media education, and the Indie Grits Festival.

Though it started 12 years ago as a DIY Southern film festival, Indie Grits has become much more than an annual, celebratory weekend of film, art, music, and creative culture from across the Southeast. As a result of over a decade’s worth of explosive growth, Indie Grits Labs was born late 2016 out of the Nickelodeon Theatre to strengthen its support for Southern filmmakers and artists, as well as deepen its investments in the local arts community and media education programming.
