GRIT Collaborative T-shirts Available Through May 31st!
GRIT Collaborative is an evolving platform with the goal to nourish systemic change. Currently, in these urgent times, GRIT Collaborative is taking a moment to pause and listen. While in the past GRIT Collaborative was founded as an interdisciplinary arts organization that presents/curates, we now feel that GRIT Collaborative could best be utilized as an open space (whether virtual, in an arts gallery, or garden) that amplifies marginalized voices, builds community, and supports creative expression.
While GRIT Collaborative is a 501(c)(3) organization , our nonprofit status has been a wake-up call to the harsh realities of arts in the United States---so much opportunity relies on capitalist donations or purchases, and ultimately, these tactics are built on systems of oppression that compromise our values. Our goal is to eventually build a free artist residency in Wilmington, NC, that allows for creative humans to find time for reflection and growth.
