Student Artists Exhibit for FREE on CompelloArt.com
With the summer exhibition season coming to an end, two online galleries are teaming up to inspire both professional and amateur artists alike over the coming winter months and on into next year.
The project will see hundreds of pieces of work from CompelloArt.com be judged across a broad and varied range of disciplines to be chosen to feature on the Saatchi Gallery Online website and if successful ultimately go forward to a public vote to be selected as part of the Saatchi SHOWDOWN competition to Exhibit in the new Saatchi Gallery.
The project which is a partnership between Compello Art and Saatchi Gallery Online will be making the first selections from the 30th of November, so there is plenty of time for artists to enter and it couldn’t be simpler. All that is required is that you register with the compelloart.com website.
If you are already a member of compelloart.com then its even easier. Just ensure your best work is available on the site and your profiles are as up to date as possible.
The selection from CompelloArt.com exhibiters will be run every 3 months and be made under the following categories
The Saatchi Category: Chosen to reflect the styles and tastes of Saatchi
All Art Category: Fine Art to Sculpture including digital artwork
Photography: Monochrome and Colour Photography
1 Winner and 9 runners up from each category will have their profile placed on the Saatchi Gallery Online site with their winning piece, the Saatchi Gallery on line magazine and placed in the Saatchi Gallery Online Congratulations box. A winner from each category will be selected and will then go on to be included in the Saatchi Showdown competition .
Mike Harding marketing manager for MTI Inc the owners and operators of CompelloaArt.com had this to say
“We share similar ideals with the Saatchi Gallery Online site and hope this project will open up opportunities to all artists whether professional, amateur or students. It would be great to see, an as yet unknown talented artist selected to be exhibited in such a prestigious gallery as The Saatchi Gallery London.”
All in all a very exiting prospect I think you would agree, and you never know there might just be a future David Bailey or Damien Hurst just waiting for this kind of opportunity and it might even be you so what are you waiting for?
The Saatchi Gallery is supporting CompelloArt.com and thestudentzone.com in its aims.
