Clare curates the work of other artists through the project COU COU, working since 2010 with arts partners in Oxford to curate exhibitions, platform performance art events, artist residencies & youth arts projects.

 

COU COU promotes performance art by putting on platform events such as BOLD in Oxford in June 2024. 

​

With artist Peta Lloyd, Clare curates the BIDDY project celebrating and encouraging women artists over fifty to be productive, to collaborate and grow networks to share their work.  The BIDDY BOOST research and production group for women artists over fifty launched in August 2022 in Oxford and offers mentoring and professional development to artists who have come to practice later in life or are returning to it. Monthly meetings facilitate networking, mentoring and co-production and lead to events and exhibitions.

​

COU COU showcases the work of older women artists through exhibition and performance events, inviting guest artists from the UK and overseas to take part. The first BIDDY performance art programme was for FaB Fringe Arts Bath in 2022.  FEET UP in Oxford and OLD TROUTS for the Frome Festival Somerset followed in 2023.

 

There will be a large exhibition of art and performance by older artists at the Glass Tank Gallery at Oxford Brookes University in January 2025.
