Over the years she has worked in collaboration with non-governmental organisations which
focus on women and children. The experiences resulted in the Annual Abuja Art Bazaar,
where young artists can exhibit their works free of charge, and the Annual Women in Art
Fair, where upcoming women artists can exhibit their works, also free of charge.
In 2001, Juliet collaborated with the Rivers State Ministry of Culture and Tourism to conduct
a workshop for young people called ‘Future Perfect’, which climaxed in an exhibition
showcasing their crafts.
Since 2001, she has been exhibiting paintings on the theme of the maiden dance. The
most recent was called ‘Reflections’, held at the Maison de France in Lagos in March,
2004.
