ARt YoWZa Story: Women Wise Marketing Interviews Rebecca
February 20, 2009
Kelly Watson of Women Wise Marketing interviewed me about ARt YoWZA.
“My name is Rebecca Stees. I’m the owner and director of ARt YoWZA: Bold Creative Fun Camps, Classes And Parties for Kids and Adults.
I started my business five years ago after I was laid off from my job at a non-profit art center due to budget cuts.
I chose this field because I knew I needed to be in a creative community, making art and playing every day. It has made me very happy.
Marketing ARt YoWZA
Marketing is fun for me because it allows me to share my top values: self-expression, reflection, creative fun and innovative productivity. I also like serving my creative community.
What has worked well for me:
-
Exhibiting ARt YoWZA visual art shows, especially the one at two Starbucks locations in Alameda, CA
-
Partnering with the PTAs of local elementary schools by offering them a free event called “Family Fun Night With ARt YoWZA.” Around 200 people attend each event.
-
Hanging posters around town
-
Donating my camps and classes to auctions that benefit kids, especially school auctions. My $300 summer camp donation gets a lot of recognition.
-
Building great word-of-mouth marketing by asking clients for support, ideas and testimonials.

I found this fascinating quote today:
I think it is because I am coming more and more around to the idea that the truly amazing part of Authentic Learning is not the connection you make with information, the way that you aggregate it or making meaning of it. In fact, the most important part of Learning is the connections that you make with the people: the ones that sustain you and make sure that you have all of the resources you need. It is truly the people that add value in a Personal Learning Network and not the tools.Ben Wilkoff, Jan 2009
