Recently, we’ve seen art popping up everywhere. From new murals all around the city, to new art installations, it’s safe to say Columbia is having a major art boom. And honestly, we love it.
Friday afternoon, Columbia’s newest art space, Immersion , held its grand opening – along with Main Course and the Players Club – and officially opened to the public. We headed over to check it out so we could give y’all all of the need-to-know deets in case you couldn’t make it this weekend.

- Rooms and spaces will be redone as new artists rotate through Immersion.
- The idea formed over brunch one morning. After seeing a similar concept in Charlotte, the Middleton family knew Columbia needed an interactive art experience.
We see so many photo opportunities in y’all future, Columbia. Check out these teasers for a little inspiration.
