As part of our continued support for emerging and early career artists, New Contemporaries has developed this How-to Resource, continuing our collaboration with practitioners and organisations who have shared their specialist knowledge and experiences with us for you.

Artist Peer Support Groups
by Chloe Cooper

This resource is for artists who are interested in meeting regularly to give and receive critical feedback, share reference points, ask questions, discuss issues in contemporary art practice and support one another’s artistic endeavours.

Chloe Cooper has run a series of Peer Mentoring events with Artquest as part of New Contemporaries Artist Development Programme.

About Chloe Cooper
Chloe Cooper is an artist and educator. She makes interactive performances, zines and workshops via the medium of paper marbling. She invents props and processes for participants to use to take on roles, collaborate together and rebel against whilst exploring their desires, feeling their feelings and sharing their ideas on how the world works. Chloe joined her first peer support group the year after graduating from her Fine Art BA at Leeds Met and has been in one group or another ever since (that’s 13 years and counting!). Check out Chloe’s most recent work here.

The development and production of this resource is part of New Contemporaries Bridget Riley Artists’ Development Programme, which is supported by the Bridget Riley Art Foundation.
