Boulder Digital Arts, a 6-year-old organization offering affordable classes in Web design, video production and other digital platforms recently opened its new, 3,000-square foot space and expanded its class offerings to serve a more diverse group of digital arts professionals, students and professionals.

“We can’t wait for the local community to get its first look at our new location,” co-founder Bruce Borowsky said of the new space. “We’ve gone from being a fairly modest, grassroots educational group to becoming a regional resource for people who want to expand their skills in web marketing, video editing, digital photography, you name it.”

The open house will include four 30-minute workshops open to the public on a first come, first served basis:
1 p.m.: Dave Taylor, 10 Easy Tips on How to Drive Traffic to your Site

Boulder Digital Arts co-founders Bruce Borowsky and Zach Daudert launched the organization in 2004 to offer low-cost, high-impact training in digital tools and new technology. Boulder is an important hub of the digital world, allowing Boulder Digital Arts to leverage top-notch instructors and provide education in cutting-edge subjects and ideas. Borowsky, a Boulder Chamber of Commerce board member, has been a producer at People Productions in Boulder for more than 10 years. During that time he has worked on a wide variety of projects for both corporate and commercial clientele, not only as producer and director but also as cameraman, lighting director and editor. Daudert is a technology strategist, Web developer and filmmaker. He started his career as a video editor in the mid 1990s and moved into Web and mobile development when it became too interesting to ignore and promised a seemingly unlimited source of curiosity and experiments in the early 2000s.
