Dear Mike ,
I am contacting you from the Saatchi Gallery here in London. Whilst searching the web I came upon your artwork and was impressed by the high standard of work. I would like to tell you about a new development here at the Saatchi Gallery where you can showcase your work for free.
We have created a new resource entitled Saatchi Online; this allows artists to post their work and information on The Saatchi Gallery site. You can now post up to 20 images, biographical information, information about you and your art, as well as your own contact details and website. There is no fee and no commission for any sales you make through the site. We have created resource to assist artists in raising their profile on a worldwide basis. Once you have registered on Saatchi Online you will be able to add your artworks to our new Saleroom Online, where curators and collectors will be able to search your work and buy directly from the site free from commission.
Curators, collectors as well as the thousands of visitors that browse the site everyday have the opportunity to view your work. You have your own page which you can update as often as you wish.

Saatchi Online for artists has already attracted thousands of artists from around the world who have loaded their work and profiles onto their own pages, with no charge. Many of the artists on the site have sold work directly to collectors and have made invaluable contacts around the world. This year the Guardian newspaper hosted a Saatchi Online exhibition, with the artists chosen from the site by a panel of critics and a readers vote:

I hope you take this opportunity and I look forward to seeing your work on the Saatchi Gallery site.
