Strategic Plan

When the pandemic hit NH, Kimball Jenkins was at a pivotal juncture in our nearly 40 year organizational history. Our two different entities, the Kimball Jenkins Estate and the School of Art were merged into one organization in 2019, and we reached the culmination of a five-year strategic plan. In March of 2020, we hired a new Executive Director to lead us into the next chapter. We are building on decades of community involvement and have welcomed the voices of nearly 200 people to help us imagine the future. Our next strategic plan, spanning 2021-2024 will be a roadmap for how Kimball Jenkins can spark hearts and minds through our mission. There were many worthy and ambitious ideas shared through this process. With your help, we are bringing them to life.
