Since it started in 2004, Zoo Art Fair has been supported by The Saatchi Gallery as an Honorary Zoo Keeper. This year the Saatchi Gallery will build on this support through Saatchi Online's sponsorship of Zoo Art Fair and a special on-site exhibition showcasing the work of artists registered on Saatchi Online. The artists in the exhibition will be chosen from Saatchi Online's weekly Critic's Choice, which appears every Monday on the magazine, and their work will be promoted and sold at Zoo Art Fair (12-15 October). People visiting the fair will be able to buy the artists' work, free of any commission and with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the artists whose work is on view.
Over the next few weeks, Saatchi Online staff will be contacting a selection of the artists who have been featured on Critic's Choice over the last year. These artists will be invited to submit and deliver their work at their own expense to the Saatchi Online stand at Zoo Art Fair, which this year is taking place at the Royal Academy of Arts, 6 Burlington Gardens, London W1S 3EX. Saatchi Online will have a team of staff at the fair, facilitating contact between artists and potential buyers. At the end of the fair, works unsold must be collected by the relevant artists; the delivery and collection of works that have been sold at the fair will be arranged by the artists in question with the help of the Saatchi Online staff at the fair.

If you aren't selected to be in the special Saatchi Online exhibition at Zoo Art Fair, there will be other similar opportunities. We are working on this at the moment and will certainly post information about this as soon as we can.
