Art Barn School of Art is excited to announce its second annual Trivia Night Fundraiser, Art, Hearts, & Smarts: A Valentine’s Trivia Night. Following the success of its inaugural Trivia Night last year—which helped launch Art Barn’s Membership Program—the organization is once again inviting the community to come together for an evening of laughter, friendly competition, and great pizza in downtown Valparaiso.
More than just a night of fun, Trivia Night supports an important cause. As a nonprofit organization, Art Barn relies on events like this to fund day-to-day operations and continue providing high-quality arts education and experiences for its community.
Art, Hearts, & Smarts: A Valentine’s Trivia Night Fundraiser will take place on Friday, February 13, from 6–9 p.m. at Peddlers Pizza Pub, located at 5 Lincolnway, Valparaiso, IN. This 21+ event invites attendees to celebrate the season by making it a date night, a “Galentine’s” gathering, or simply a fun night out with friends and loved ones.

Guests can look forward to five rounds of trivia, each featuring a bonus Art Barn–related question. Trivia categories include Art, Science/Nature, Sports, Movies, and Food, all with a Valentine’s-themed twist. The evening will be hosted by local personality Joe Markovich, CEO of Valparaiso-based marketing company JCMA Inc., bringing high energy and plenty of laughs to the competition.
Art Barn is inviting local businesses to become event sponsors. Trivia Night offers a high-impact, approachable way for businesses to connect with a diverse local audience in a fun, competitive setting. Sponsorship positions businesses as vibrant community partners while providing an excellent opportunity for employee engagement.
