CLARE ART CLUB
Clare Art Club was founded around 1990 by its then President, Irene Corless. A long-standing club with a diverse membership of local artists. The Club held monthly meetings at The Bell Hotel in Clare in Suffolk when each month, a visiting professional artist demonstrated a particular style or medium to teach and inspire artists, these monthly demonstrations were free to members and open to visitors for a small fee. The club held an annual Arts and Crafts Exhibition in the Clare Town Hall and at the Stour Studio at Clare Country Park, where members were invited to exhibit their latest works. Suffolk artists who exhibited with the Clare Art Club included Jan Couling, Sue Eaton, John Glover, Glynis Hughes, Julie Iveson and Alan Noyes. The last exhibition noted was in 2019.
