About
Clare Cumberlidge & Co works nationally and internationally to realise high profile commissions, engagement programmes, exhibitions, events, cultural strategies and campaigns.

Founded in 2011 by curator and cultural strategist Clare Cumberlidge, we are expert in enabling art and art thinking to contribute to the challenges and opportunities of contemporary society. We work across art forms and cultures and are interested in developing models through which art and artists impact on everyday life.
Our curatorial agenda is simple; we work with the best practitioners and insert the highest quality of creative thinking and practice into the given brief.
Often innovative, and sometimes unconventional, our proposals are always workable, rational and appropriate.
