Organizations to support inclusive environments with a focus on utilizing art for
personal and community growth.
New Hampshire, 1/31/2023. Kimball Jenkins, a community cultural center located in Concord, NH, and Queerlective, a statewide group based in Manchester, have combined forces with a fiscal sponsorship. This will allow Queerlective to grow its programs and provide more support to meet the diverse creative community’s needs.
The two organizations have aligned missions working to create inclusive and safe spaces where the arts can be used for personal and community growth. Kimball Jenkins produces gallery exhibitions, events, and educational programs focusing on presenting diverse perspectives and culturally relevant themes. Queerlective has been producing large scale queer art markets, promoting the local queer and BIPOC artist community, and curating exhibitions for partner organizations.
“Queerlective has been a leader in producing art happenings and events that center queer, BIPOC and underserved communities. Kimball Jenkins is honored to serve as a fiscal sponsor, which will allow people who are part of these communities, and most closely connected, to lift up and amplify their voices and needs in the most authentic way possible.” said Julianne Gadoury, Executive Director of Kimball Jenkins.
“Queerlective is excited to continue to organize and support meaningful gatherings that celebrate the diverse creative community here in New Hampshire,” said Randall Nielsen, Founder of Queerlective. “Our Fiscal sponsorship with Kimball Jenkins will allow us to serve the community in broader and more sustainable ways than we have been up to this point. Queerlective is so appreciative of the response we have received from the community over the past year, and we are excited for the opportunities this partnership will provide us in continuing to be able to serve the community. ”
Both organizations produce year-round programming. More information can be found at www.kimballjenkins.com and www.queerlective.com
