Art Live Chat Support

January 1st, 2010

Saatchi Gallery offers an opportunity for lovers, creators and producers of visual and performing art to get together and interact in real time through our Live Chat application. This interactive program brings together art aficionados from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds, and creates an atmosphere in which artistic tastes and ideas can be shared and discussed in a productive and liberal manner. The chat room can be accessed after a brief registration, and it allows people at all levels of artistic proficiency to meet and encourage each other in their artistic endeavours. It also allows them to seek out persons of similar interests and to form local and international groups for the discussion, creation, and critical analysis of art.

The application is also invaluable to the marketing aspect of organizations, as it allows directors or representatives to get in touch with real people and solicit real feedback regarding special upcoming events or recent presentations. The Live Chat feature allows art lovers and creators all over to keep themselves up to date with the contemporary trends, haunts, and preferences of other local and international artists. The application also supports the needs of local and international artists whose works are hosted on the site. They are accorded the chance to speak directly to the viewers of their work, make cash sales, and get direct feedback concerning the reception of their work by the public. This resource is a priceless tool that brings together talented persons and organizations that would otherwise never have had the chance to communicate. It allows for collaboration and generation of innovative and seminal ideas on the subject of visual and performing arts.

Street Art

December 12th, 2009

The Saatchi Art Gallery caters to artists of all kinds, and evidence of this exists in its commitment to the work of street artists. The gallery accepts work from a wide range of non-traditional artists, such as tattoo and graffiti artists, mural painters, performers, and others who discover unknown or unrecognized pieces. Saatchi allows these artists to upload their work in the form of photos or even videos—any or all the methods that capture the true essence of the meaning and conceptualization they would like to convey. The use of the video-upload feature is particularly convenient for performing artists, who are also encouraged to promote their work on the Saatchi Gallery Site. This features is open even to street dancers, many of whom the gallery recognises as having attained a remarkable level of proficiency at their art despite the lack of formal training.

Artists ready to upload are encouraged to register on the site for a free membership, which gives them all the privileges that Saatchi members worldwide possess. However, those who prefer to are also allowed to register as visitors and still gain the benefit of having their works displayed on the international artistic website. When art files are uploaded, visitors to the site are able not only to view the works, but also to select their ten favourites, which are ultimately showcased in a special area on the site. The exposure that this Saatchi Gallery facility affords to young street artists is immeasurable, as the gallery makes these works available to millions of viewers around the world. This considerably broadens the artistic scope of these street artists and ultimately brightens their prospects.
