Peer Review Groups
The very nature of being an artist or creative practitioner means working in a profession where, by and large, you will have to take responsibility for creating a dialogue about your practice with others, be they employers, clients, curators, writers, arts administrators, etc.
A regular meeting where likeminded people get together to review work in progress, discuss the ideas behind the work and to get feedback from each other can be very supportive in giving you the confidence to comfortably talk about your work to a variety of audiences.
Being part of a peer critique forum can also help tackle feelings of isolation and lack of motivation that sometimes arise if you spend a lot of time working on your own.
