Exhibitions and Opportunities for Saatchi Online and STUART artists:

After the success of the first 4 New Sensations prize launched last year, Channel 4 and The Saatchi Gallery are delighted to announce that
4 New Sensations will be held again in 2008 for all UK art students. Students graduating from BA and MA courses at UK colleges and universities will be invited to enter the competition with work from their 2008 degree shows.

To celebrate both Channel 4's 25th anniversary and the launch of the Big Art Project Channel 4 and a panel of arts experts have launched a competition for Saatchi Online and STUART artists who graduated from a UK art school or university in 2006 or 2007, to design a sculpture incorporating the huge Channel 4 logo installed outside their headquarters in London. The first three artists - Nick Knight, Mark Titchner, El Anatsui - were chosen by Channel 4 and the fourth commission will go to a Saatchi Online or STUART artist. To read more about how to apply please see, Channel 4’s Big 4.
