Ch-ch-ch-changes! ⚡
Well, here we are. Another evolution!
If you’ve been around a while, you’ve seen us through a few transformations. From 9 Main to 9 Mobile, through a pandemic, to The Po Cafe, and now The Cutler Collective.
But looking back, it all makes perfect sense.
The Po was never just a café. It was a gathering place for neighbors, artists, writers, musicians. We opened exhibiting and selling art. We organized events, celebrated poetry, and made some extraordinary connections.
One of those connections began during Washington’s first annual Poetry Month, when I reached out to a poet named Robert L Arnold (@defiance13_). A poem became a reading. A reading became a friendship and a collaboration. And that collaboration became a couple books, with another on its way from a major publisher.
Meanwhile, the art never stopped. From my family’s first Art Walk at Flirtation Farms to the walls of The Po, our fall Art Walk on the lawn, and most recently an unfinished Bethlehem barn transformed into a gallery in six days, the ideas just kept coming.
When we closed The Po, I told you it wasn’t the end.
I meant that.
Welcome to The Cutler Collective.
We’re building a creative business around art, books, exhibitions, publishing, and collaborations that bring people and ideas together.
You’ll still see some familiar faces, the farm, the flowers, and probably a little bit of everything in our stories. But this page is now home to the work of The Cutler Collective and the creative people who make it possible.
To everyone who’s been part of this journey, thank you. And to the artists, writers, and dreamers out there, we’re just getting started.
Same spirit. New chapter.
Stay with us.
