SHOWPONY. Stimulates. Creative. Collaboration.

One of the things I've been working on has been setting up SHOWPONY.

SHOWPONY is an artist-led collective of four female graduates of University of the Arts. Formed in Peckham in September 2009 by Jess Blandford, Grace Schofield, Charlotte Settle and Amy Woodward.

SHOWPONY stimulates creative collaboration. We hunt out creative opportunities to make and showcase contemporary fine art, and stimulate lively critical discussions and interactions.

We believe in building strong creative alliances to support avant-garde art making and pride ourselves on our approachabiltiy, integrity and our get-stuck-in attitude.

We are curating a series of art-related events including: exhibitions, talk nights, art tours and collaborative projects with other creative organisations.

We will also be hosting an emerging artist's community forum on our website.

We've been busy over the last few months. Some of our recent and current projects include:

'Through the eyes of an emerging artist' tours of Frieze Art Fair 2009; mural commission for Marmite Pop-Up Shop; digital collaboration with Id&Ego; Lucky Pages Directory with LuckyPDF; design project with FROL-IK; Cambridge-Peckham Ideas Exchange; 100 books for young artists project.
