CONCORD, NH – Kimball Jenkins’ spring exhibition features a curation by Yasamin Safarzadeh which will challenge and defy the norms of gallery exhibitions in New Hampshire. This highly anticipated exhibit features artists from across the country. Each artist is an integral component of the fabric of their community, their mentorship, grace, perseverance, insight and innovatios are a testament to the ways in which art can be used as a vessel for change and resistance.

Several other events are planned in addition to the public reception.
On April 28, 2023, Kimball Jenkins will host the Millenials of Color in partnership with Equity Leaders Fellowship for a potluck BBQ.

Through the featuring of such considered, diverse, and well-informed work, Kimball Jenkins provides space for the audience to be inspired and think of artistic expression as more than two-dimensional representation of forms, but as a means to engage with the people in their community, and dynamically express multifarious insights.
