Art, Community, and Expression: The Journeys of Women Artists with Claire and Jan

At ClaireandJan, we believe that art is both a universal language and a deeply personal journey. For many women artists, creating means more than just producing work—it’s about finding a voice, a safe space, and a sense of purpose. Through our foundation, we support these journeys, where vulnerability becomes strength, and community becomes a catalyst for growth.

Real Stories of Women Artists

From painters and illustrators to photographers and performance artists, many women join ClaireandJan with a shared desire: to grow within a supportive environment, to connect with like-minded creators, and to give meaning to their artistic path.Take the example of Maya, who joined the foundation in 2022. After finishing her studies, she felt lost and disconnected from her creativity. Through our residency program, she found meaningful relationships, exhibited her work for the first time, and most importantly, reconnected with her artistic intuition.

“Before ClaireandJan, I felt like I was creating in a vacuum. Now, I’m part of a community where everyone can express themselves freely, without fear of judgment.”— Maya B., visual artist

Creating Together, Growing Together

One of ClaireandJan’s greatest strengths is our tight-knit community. From creative circles and collaborative workshops to women-led projects, we provide safe spaces where artists can step out of isolation, share freely, and build work with real emotional resonance.Our residencies and events offer the chance to connect with others who understand the same creative impulses, the same doubts—and that’s where the magic happens.

A Foundation Where You Can Be Yourself

We understand that an artistic career isn’t built on technical skills alone. That’s why human connection is at the heart of everything we do. Our programs follow your rhythm, valuing personal growth just as much as public achievements.At ClaireandJan, you’ll find genuine listening, constructive feedback, and space to experiment, take risks, and most importantly—to dare.
