mission at Saatchi Online is to provide all artists with the tools, opportunity and support to have
sustainable careers and to make a living selling their art. By providing a global platform visited by
art lovers from over 190 countries each month, we are able to connect consumers and curators
alike who would otherwise never have the opportunity to discover their work,” says Spiritus.
Saatchi Online was started by the Saatchi Gallery in London in 2006 in order to help artists without
gallery representation to find an audience for their work. It is estimated that over 1 million artists
across the globe aren’t represented by galleries. Saatchi Online provides these talented artists
with a platform to showcase and sell their work in an environment with an excellent reputation for
introducing outstanding artists.
