"We are excited to welcome new board members and appreciate the jump-right-in attitude they all possess," said Brad Greenwald.  "We have much to do in terms of strategic goals, event planning and awareness," he continued.  The inaugural board meeting took place via Zoom to strategize expansion of Denver Digerati's signature program, the Supernova Digital Animation Festival. The 5^th annual festival will take place in September 2020, once again leveraging downtown Denver's singular infrastructure of public LED screens as the exemplary vehicle to present artwork free to the public during this time of COVID-19 pandemic challenges.

About: Denver Digerati is a 501(c)(3) organization.  Its mission: Denver Digerati advances digital motion-art through exhibition and education, accelerating the merger of art and technology.  Since 2010 Denver Digerati has cultivated an extraordinary network of local, national and international artists as a model for next generation visual-arts engagement. Denver Digerati believes in the freedom to create without restrictions, advancing the interests of artists who seek to use their unique voices, perspectives and cultural experiences in the creation of art.  The organization's roots were planted with the advent of the Denver Theatre District, bringing light and art activations to the streets of downtown Denver through a public-private partnership model with outdoor media companies.  The partnership allowed for direct access to an infrastructure of public LED displays to integrate art-related content into daily cycles of advertising. Friday Flash was launched in 2013 as Denver Digerati's first branded initiative that solely featured digital motion-art programming as an emergent art form. Denver Digerati's signature program Supernova Digital Animation Festival was launched in 2016 to further celebrate Art+Tech in motion.   For more visit www.DenverDigerati.org.
