Boulder Digital Arts was founded in February of 2004 by Bruce Borowsky and Zach Daudert and continues to be the only organization of it's kind in the region. The catalyst for the organization came after Bruce and Zach served together on the board of directors for CATV, Boulder’s Community Television station in the late 1990's. That experience revealed the tremendous amount of creative and talented people in the community and the apparent need for an organization that would be a central resource for digital professionals to meet, network, show their work and obtain expert training.

It was clear, even at that time, that Boulder needed a resource organization that embraced the rapid integration of digital mediums as an exciting new environment and platform for creative, aesthetic and commercial experimentation and new work.

Since that time, technology has evolved rapidly, enabling more people to become interested or active in the digital arts. Today the laptop computer this is being written on offers video editing capabilities matching or exceeding $50,000 post-production systems from less than a decade ago. At the same time the internet has revolutionized the way information and entertainment is delivered and DVDs are the fastest adopted consumer technology in history. All of this change creates a formidable challenge for people working in the field to stay current and embrace the latest in tools and technology.

Boulder Digital Arts seeks to be the central resource organization for all of these people and needs of the Boulder community. As we continue our formation efforts we welcome the input of the community in helping to define our scope and offerings in the future!

Our primary goal will be to provide the highest quality training using working professionals as instructors. Classes will be designed to meet the needs of everyone, from courses suited for seasoned professionals, to offerings perfect for those just getting into the field. As a community organization we are committed to keeping class sizes small and as affordable as possible.
