Beck Center Welcomes Kathleen Caffrey as Director of Marketing & External Affairs

The Beck Center for the Arts is pleased to welcome Kathleen Caffrey as its new Director of Marketing & External Affairs, effective immediately.

"I am proud to be part of such an acclaimed performing arts and educational organization," said Caffrey. "The Beck Center is a cornerstone in the arts community, and I'm looking forward to sharing its vision and helping to shape its future in Northeast Ohio."

Born and raised in the Westpark neighborhood of Cleveland, Caffrey attended St. Joseph's Academy and majored in English at Baldwin-Wallace College. She comes to the Beck Center with more than a decade of marketing expertise. Since 1999, Caffrey has been marketing for local non-profit trade associations and has extensive experience in fundraising, events, planning and communications.

Most recently Caffrey was marketing manager for Professional Remodelers of Ohio. She was the lead staff member for the coordination and marketing of the national award-winning RemodelOhio Home Improvement Show ("Consumer Show of the Year") at I-X Center, with emphasis on special feature areas, sponsorships, and oversaw all marketing and promotional efforts. She is also the recipient of the "Distinguished Sales & Marketing" award from the Sales & Marketing Executives of Greater Cleveland.

Ms. Caffrey is not entirely new to the Beck Center having attended classes there as a high school student. As an eight-year resident of the Gordon Square Arts District, Caffrey has volunteered her expertise for the area's annual historic walk and supports the Cleveland Public Theatre. Her passion for the arts is one of the reasons she has returned to the Beck Center to serve as marketing director.

Located at 17801 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, the Beck Center for the Arts is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization that offers professional theater productions, arts education programming in dance, music, theater, visual arts, early childhood, and creative arts therapies for special needs students, and gallery exhibits featuring regional artists.
