Smart Kinston Foundation

Smart Kinston Foundation The smART Kinston Foundation is transforming Lenoir County by rebuilding the regional economy with a focus on art, design and sustainability.

The mission of the smART Kinston Foundation is to continue the growth of Kinston's creative economy. We aim to do this by bringing in artists to live and work in the Arts & Cultural District, by connecting them to downtown and by making them part of the larger Kinston community. But we can't make this effort successful on our own! We want to engage you - the artists, the neighbors, the community. We want to hear from you.

🇺🇸To our youth, exploring the idea of the American Dream can mean answering the question: What do you want to be when you grow up? And then it is our job to help them get there. Last week, the young artists at The Gate of Lenoir County were hard at work on their pieces for our new exhibit, American Dreamin.

Join us for the opening reception:
🗓️Saturday, June 20th
⏰1-4PM
📍210 N. Queen St.*

We’re exploring the idea of the American Dream from Revolutionary War to present day, and sharing some Kinston history!

*Yes, we’re right on the parade route for Kinston’s first Juneteenth parade, so stop by and see the exhibit then get a great sidewalk spot!
