Saatchi Pitches In for Art by Children, Teens

saatchi.jpg The internationally known Saatchi Gallery has launched an online art gallery for schools around the world, allowing teachers to upload their students' artworks to the site. Describing the new Portfolio feature, Saatchi's Rosie Stewart says, "Not only will this encourage children’s creativity, it will also provide an invaluable vehicle through which children can connect with different countries and cultures. The Portfolio will be placed alongside our interactive studio 'Artshow,' which is a place for children to create pictures online allowing them to develop fundamental ICT skills. We want children aged 4-18 from all schools and backgrounds to be represented." Saatchi's Portfolio School Prize, awarding a total of $45,000 to Portfolio-registered "art departments and pupils of promise." One hundred shortlisted works will tour the world’s capital cities and winning pieces will be exhibited in the Saatchi Gallery. [LINK]
