Images: A site for student artists

The recently redesigned Web site of the famed Saatchi Gallery in London has become a social-networking outlet for aspiring young artists. A key feature launched in May is the section called Your Gallery, where artists can post their own work at no charge, sell it without a middleman and chat with peers. That section now has contributions, including video art, from more than 20,000 artists, with 800 more signing up each week, according to a story in The New York Times. Another section, called Stuart (for "student art"), launched in November and now counts 1,300 students, the Times reported.
