Art Barn School of Art would like to announce the addition of two new members to our team, marking a significant milestone in the organization’s continued expansion and commitment to the Northwest Indiana arts community. At the end of February, Art Barn welcomed Rebecca Weber as Development Coordinator and Katelyn Kazakevicius as Marketing Manager.
Art Barn’s new Development Coordinator, Rebecca Weber, helps support the organization’s mission through data management, volunteer coordination, fundraising, and event planning. She brings over twelve years of nonprofit experience, with a background in a variety of skills, from program management to event planning. She earned a Master of Science in Management and Leadership with a concentration in Human Resources from Purdue University Global and a Bachelor of Business from Purdue Northwest with concentrations in Business Management, Organizational Leadership, and Supervision. She is excited to be a part of a place where creativity is encouraged, and everyone has a chance to participate.
Katelyn Kazakevicius joins Art Barn as the new Marketing Manager, leading social media efforts, managing media partners, and designing advertising material. A recent graduate of Purdue University Northwest, Katelyn earned degrees in both Marketing and Management and is currently returning to her alma mater to pursue an MBA with a concentration in Data Analytics. She is eager to contribute to Art Barn’s mission, looking forward to supporting and learning from the vibrant community of artists and creatives who help the region flourish.
As we welcome these new members, we would also like to acknowledge our former Marketing Director, Agia Amezcua-Bone, with heartfelt gratitude. Agia committed more than two years to the mission of Art Barn. She took over the management of marketing with both purpose and grace, completely redefining our horizons for marketing strategy. We will miss her vibrant, creative influence. We are wishing Agia the best as she moves into her next chapter.
