Introducing Colorado Creates

This past fall, Colorado Creative Industries, a division of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade – as well as a “dream team” of creative professionals from the Denver area – approached the students of Boulder Digital Works to collaborate on developing a campaign to highlight Colorado as an international creative hub.

Their solution: establish an online community where creative individuals and businesses across the state could share their work, communicate and collaborate with others. Sound familiar? After months of research, countless trips between Denver and Boulder, and a whole lot of Colorado pride, www.ColoradoCreates.org was born. Their aim is to gather thousands of voices to help tell the world that Colorado is the state of creativity.
