The future of art

You've heard of Speed-dating, well now comes Speedarting.

This initiative, which launched yesterday, is trying to demoncratise the buying and selling of art. By making buying art more accessible to the everyday punter and by giving up and coming artists a channel to reach potential buyers (beyond the expense and effort the a gallery can require), this certainly has a lot of appeal.

Could this be the new route for more artists to make the jump to a successful future? Could this be a new route for a more accessible way for all of us to own real art? And most importantly, could this be one solution that will help those rising stars inthe art industry survive the inevitable cuts that are no doubt on their way?
