About Boulder Digital Arts

Boulder Digital Arts was founded in February of 2004 by Bruce Borowsky and Zach Daudert. Today it continues to be the only organization of its kind in the region. We are committed to empowering and encouraging the vast creative and technology community in Colorado as well as attracting talent from around the country and world to participate in our innovative programs.

Together with our financial partners we provide very low-cost, high-impact training in digital tools and state-of-the-art technology presented by seasoned professionals and industry leaders. Boulder is an important hub of the digital world allowing us to leverage top-notch instructors and provide education in cutting-edge subjects and ideas.

BDA also supports the creative and technology community in the region with regular networking and social events, membership program, Digital Salon series, free creative professionals directory and mentoring/internship opportunities.

Boulder Digital Arts operates two facilities in Boulder. Both are designed to serve the creative community and, in particular, our members!

Our primary facility is the Arapahoe Studio, located on the northeast corner of Range Street and Arapahoe (approximately 52nd and Arapahoe). This studio houses our classrooms, coworking space and private offices. BDA members have access to our Digital Lab program allowing them to use our fully-loaded, state-of-the-art Macintosh computers for their projects.

Our professional video and photo production studio is an amazing deal starting at only $25/hour for BDA members.

Kira Woodmansee, Operations Manager

Kira Woodmansee began working for BDA as an event coordinator and organizer in 2008, shortly after settling on Boulder as her permanent home. While majoring in art and working at the student computer help desk at Carleton College, she was struck by the wide and unnecessary gulf between the worlds of fine art and technology. Kira studied web and graphic design alongside fine art illustration and made a career out of being the person who can explain technology to artists. Since graduating, she has combined technical, aesthetic, and organizational skills to help a variety of art-related businesses thrive. Kira devotes her free time to her webcomic, Castle Whatsitsname, and spending nights in spooky buildings as a paranormal investigator. Email Kira.
