Free Online Gallery – Your Gallery

A new development here at the Saatchi Gallery. We have created a new resource entitled "Your Gallery" that allows artists to post their work and information on The Saatchi Gallery site. You have your own page which you can update as much as you wish. You can post up to eight images, biographical information, information about your art, as well as your contact details and website address. This is not a transaction site and there is no fee, we have created this to assist artists in raising their profiles.  Curators, collectors as well as the thousands of visitors we get everyday have the opportunity to view your work.  I would like to invite you to post your work onto the site. If you are interested please visit: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/
