To the VIBE Arts Community,
It is with a mix of heartfelt gratitude and bittersweet emotion that I share the news of my resignation as Executive Director of VIBE Arts, effective April 4, 2025. After much reflection on my career path, I’ve decided to embrace an exciting new chapter. This opportunity allows me to pursue my deep passion for sport and give back to another community that has shaped me in countless ways.
VIBE Arts has been so much more than a job; it has been a home, a purpose and a profound source of pride. Over these nearly eight years, I’ve poured my heart into this remarkable organization and have been endlessly inspired by the magic we create together. From transformative arts programs to seeing children and youth discover their creative voices, VIBE has shown me the power of community.
I am deeply grateful to every supporter, donor, artist, participant and advocate who has been part of VIBE’s journey. Each of you has played an essential role in making VIBE the mighty organization it is today. I am confident that the strong foundation we’ve built together will continue to grow and flourish under new leadership.
In the coming days, we will share a job posting for the next Executive Director of VIBE Arts. I encourage you to share it widely within your networks. This community is filled with passionate, capable individuals who understand the transformative power of community arts. I have no doubt the right person is out there, ready to lead VIBE into its next chapter.
As I prepare to step away from this role, please know that I remain committed to ensuring a smooth transition. I will work alongside the team and Board of Directors to support the search and onboarding process for my successor, and I will always remain a champion of VIBE’s mission and vision.
Thank you for the trust, collaboration, and inspiration you’ve given me throughout my time here. VIBE will always hold a special place in my heart and I’m excited to see all the incredible things this community will continue to accomplish together.
With deep appreciation,

Katie Hutchinson
