What is SHOWPONY?

SHOWPONY is an artist led collective of 4 female fine art graduates from University of the Arts London.

SHOWPONY hunts out creative opportunities to make and showcase work, 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 approachability, integrity and our get-stuck-in attitude.

We curate a series of art-related events including: exhibitions, talk nights, and collaborative projects with other organisations. We will also host an arts community forum on our website (currently in development).

ShowPony at The Frieze Art Fair 2009




We're overwhelmed by the positive response we had to our 'through the eyes of emerging artists' tours of the 2009 Frieze Art Fair.

Here's a few of the comments we've been sent:

"I have to say I think you guys did a fantastic job with the tour. It was definitely the best frieze I have been to - thanks to you guys."

"It directed me towards particular pieces, enabled me to have a fascinating conversation with young artists, and made the Fair feel approachable rather than elitist and exclusionary."

"opened our eyes to new artists and ideas that we would not have stopped to think about. Renewed our interest in - and enthusiasm for modern art!"

"I was a Frieze first-timer and the whole thing could have been rather intimidating without the Showponies helping us to plot a course through the various artists, galleries and styles."

"I particularly enjoyed the debate - looking at things in a group is a great way of learning and helps you formulate your own views on the art"

Thank you to all our supporters who took the chance to come on a ShowPony tour. We're so glad it was as rewarding an experience for you as it was for us. Once again thank you for supporting the careers of young emerging artists.
