PEER is a not-for-profit neighbourhood space for contemporary art, located in Hoxton, East London. We place artists and local communities at the heart of our internationally recognised programmes of public exhibitions, collaborative projects, talks, events and offsite commissions.

PEER Ambassadors Sitting at the heart of Peer’s activities is the Peer Ambassadors, an ongoing, creative programme for young people aged 17-25 from underrepresented and lower socio-economic backgrounds based in Hackney and Tower Hamlets. Designed and led by participants the programme provides a supportive and experimental space for young people to learn, collaborate, and build community. 

A nine month programme made up of 8-12 young people, Peer Ambassadors offers paid work experience and professional training at Peer, alongside a resources and skill based learning programme. 

During their time at Peer participants work closely with an Ambassador Artist-in-Residence to collectively produce a series of work which responds to the specific interests and needs of the group and contributes to the local ecology of Hoxton.
