Welcome Kimberly!

Kimberly Young is thrilled to be joining the CMW team. She began in the arts as a classically trained dancer, and has danced professionally in New York for the last eight years, for choreographers including Yanira Castro, Tere O’Connor, Helene Lesterlin, and Heather Olson. At the same time, Kimberly served as the Assistant Director for The Peter Jay Sharp Program at The Princeton Review, a program that provided free SAT and PSAT preparatory courses to 1,500 underserved students in the NYC Metro area. In this work, she found her passion for service and her deep desire to connect with her community. Subsequently, she held critical operational positions at two experimental music and art presenters, ISSUE Project Room and Roulette Intermedium, during each organization’s transition into permanent performance spaces. 

Kimberly sees in CMW an opportunity to tie together the threads of her past work, and to continue doing something she loves – helping arts organizations focus on their core values and maintain their pioneering spirit as they find growing success. She is proud to become a part of CMW’s inspiring story of successfully combining fine-art practice with service to and engagement with the community.

Please join me in welcoming Kimberly!
