FREE THE ARTISTS ON CNN
'The art equivalent of YouTube', Jonathan Jones, Guardian

On 22 April 2009, the Saatchi Gallery and Clear Channel Outdoor launched a national outdoor poster campaign across the UK to help artists and people interested in buying art during the financial recession. Saatchi Online provides a free global platform for artists to show their work to an international audience and to sell it to collectors without the usual 50% commission taken by galleries.

CNN featured the campaign this week, interviewing Saatchi Online artist, Whitney McVeigh.

"It's innovative ideas like Saatchi Online which will bring on new waves and changes in art. This type of innovation will always produce new, exciting things." Grayson Perry, Turner Prizewinner
