Off the Grid: Collaborating Creativity

The possibilities of more than one mind

By Lucia Stewart, 9-26-07

Creativity: using imagination to develop new and original ideas; sometimes preformed unaccompanied, but more invigorating when collaborated with others.

Bozeman is home to “creative live wires,” a plethora of professionals in the marketing, advertising, architecture, media and design fields. Hence, the creation of Off the Grid, a forum to network Bozeman’s professional creative arts community.

“This is a chance for everyone in our field to get together, celebrate, collaborate and put Bozeman on the map,” said Jeff Welch of Mercury Advertising.

Off the Grid is hosting their first event with Alex Bogusky, the innovative mind behind the global ad campaigns like Mini Cooper, Burger King and The Truth on September 2.

Update: Last night was a success, filling the Emerson Ballroom with a diverse group who are keen on cultivating the creative community within Bozeman. Stay tuned for more speakers, workshops and networking with Off the Grid. And if any ideas cross your mind on the future direction of this group, contact .
