Build Your Art Career: Mentorship, Skills, and Growth with Claire and Jan

At ClaireandJan, we know that building a sustainable, fulfilling art career takes more than talent. It requires structure, support, and the right opportunities. That’s why we’ve created a space where emerging artists—especially those looking to sharpen their skills and accelerate their professional journey—can thrive.

Whether you're just starting out or seeking your next big leap, our mentorship and professional development programs are designed to give you the tools you need to succeed.

Focused Mentorship for Real Progress

We match artists with experienced professionals who’ve been through the journey themselves. This isn’t abstract advice—it’s targeted, practical guidance to help you:

• Refine your technique

• Navigate exhibitions and portfolios

• Build a brand and online presence

• Understand the business side of art

Each mentorship relationship is tailored, with clear milestones and regular check-ins. And if you're looking for something intensive, we offer custom mentorship bundles that include workshops, critique sessions, and peer reviews.

“Having access to a mentor who truly understands my medium and my goals has been a game changer. I now have a plan, not just a dream.”— Olivier L., multimedia artist
