from Jaehn's LinkedIn profile...

“Jaehn Clare is an extraordinary woman who happened to choose art as her lefe's work, though she was bound to be successful in any endeavor. Her illustrious service at VSA Arts of Georgia is filled with many exhibitions that were met with high acclaim for their intellectual substance and forceful expression. She is a dedicated artist, performer, advocate, and above all, a lovely person to know.” ~ Charles H. Green, Chairman / Fulton County Arts Council, September 11, 2010

“Jaehn Clare is a bold and creative champion of many causes, but when I think of her, I most often think about how her contributions to the arts and advocacy for people with disabilities - and the intersections between those fields - are, in a word, visionary. Luminous? Yes. Unstoppable? Indeed. I would even go so far as to say that Jaehn is a force to be reckoned with. If I need to get something done (right, well, the first time, without a lot of hand-holding), I know exactly who to go to. If I need to think about something in a different way than I normally would, Jaehn's my woman. Whoever you are out there, Jaehn Clare will make a brilliant addition to your team. And team is really what it's all about.” ~
Shannon Turner, Manager of Programs and Services/Alternate ROOTS, September 9, 2010

She is deeply committed to her clients and projects, and brings a wealth of experience. And by the way ~ expect to have a great time when you are in her hands, she is a gifted facilitator and makes occasions sparkle. I have loved my opportunities to work with her, and you will too.” ~ Eric Booth, International arts learning consultant, author, speaker, September 8, 2010

As both an artist and an educator her work is first rate, and her spirit of collaboration and positive energy infuses her work. I am happy to give her the highest recommendation.” ~ Mary Liniger, Director of Education Services/VSA, February 20, 2008

“I first met Jaehn Clare while doing an onsite visit for Georgia Council for the Arts. Since that review of her work at VSA Arts of Georgia and its successful grant application to GCA, I have been privileged to see VSA’s continued growth under her leadership. Jaehn’s management skills, love and appreciation for the arts and tireless energy continue to create new and exciting possibilities to artists and arts organizations throughout the state. Last summer I had the pleasure of attending a workshop conducted by Eric Booth that Jaehn also attended. Her energy as well as her expertise on K-12 Arts in Education helped deepen the workshop’s success. I HIGHLY recommend Jaehn Claire’s executive management skills and her determination to get any job that she takes on, done and done well.” ~ Valetta Anderson, Resident Teaching Artist/Alliance Theatre, February 21, 2008

“Jaehn brings a sharp, full, creative energy to her work. Her artistic and education life complement each other. She practices what she preaches, and continually looks for ways to reflect on and improve her work whether teaching teachers, artists, or young people. I had the honor of mentoring her and a small group of colleagues as part of the inaugural VSA arts teaching artist fellowship program.” ~ Dawn M. Ellis, Dawn M. Ellis & Associates, February 22, 2008
