All Saatchi Online Artists are invited to a preview of the new Saatchi Gallery before it opens to the public. This special preview of the gallery and the inaugural show, 'The Revolution Continues: New Art from China', will be exclusively for Saatchi Online artists and will take place on 8 October from 10am to 4pm. The gallery opens to the public on Thursday 9 October.
The new Saatchi Gallery is located in the Duke of York's HQ building on King's Road in Chelsea. At 70,000 sq. ft., it will be the only completely free entry contemporary art museum of its size in the world.
Free admission to all shows - including temporary, curated exhibitions, as part of the Saatchi Gallery's aim to bring contemporary art to the widest audience possible - has been enabled through the Gallery's corporate partnership with the leading contemporary art auction house Phillips de Pury & Company.
The new Gallery will include a dedicated space for Saatchi Online artists to exhibit and sell their work commission free. The space will feature a rotating selection of artists chosen from Showdown and Saatchi Online Magazine's weekly critics' picks.
The Gallery will also show work created by pupils from schools participating in the Saatchi Online Art Prize for Schools, which is open to pupils aged 4-18 and to all schools worldwide.
