Exhibitions and Opportunities for Saatchi Online artists and Saatchi Online Art Students:
SAATCHI ONLINE ARTISTS EXHIBITED AT SCOPE LONDON
As part of our continuing efforts to promote Saatchi Online artists, Saatchi Online presented a selection of UK-based artists registered on the site at this year's SCOPE art fair in London in October 2008. This follows our success promoting and selling the work of Saatchi Online artists at the Zoo Art Fair in London in October 2007, at FORM London in February 2008, at PULSE New York in March 2008, and at SCOPE Basel 2008 in June 2008.
The Saatchi Online artists invited to exhibit their work at SCOPE London were all UK-based and were chosen from our weekly Saatchi Online Magazine Critic's Choice and Top 10s. We promoted and sold their work at the fair on a non-commission basis; all money from sales went directly to the artists.
The following artists exhibited at Scope London from October 16th - 19th 2008: GL Brierley, Petros Chrisostomou, Toby Christian, Pio Abad, Mark Harris, Rebecca Ayre, Michael Atkinson, Damien Flood, Aaron Schuman, Poppy Jones and Gabriele Beveridge.
