After graduating from Skidmore College in 1997, Cutler co-founded the 9yds. Art Collaborative in Boston with fellow Skidmore alums and artists: Eric Wild, Marcus Ahlers, Sarah Hardesty, and composer Michael Gardiner.
In addition to multi-media events self-produced at their Brighton live-work studio, collaborative works by 9yds. were featured at the Zeitgeist Gallery, Wheaton College and Solid Studios.
