Art collector Charles Saatchi creates an online hangout for artists
Charles Saatchi, a British art collector best known for discovering unknown artists and helping them achieve successful careers, has added an interactive feature to the website for the Saatchi Gallery in London. Called “Your Gallery”, or “Stuart” (short for “student art”), this feature allows artists from around the world to exhibit their work electronically, as well as to communicate with other artists and keep tabs on what’s happening in the world of art. So far, the site is exhibiting work from about 20,700 artists. There’s a discussion board where artists can share advice, ideas, and inspiration, make new friends and get exposure. The site also offers art news and reviews, a chat room for art enthusiasts, and a page where children can create and display art.
