I'm thinking of doing work experience in a art gallery during the summer holidays?

I'm in my first year at universty, I'm studying fine art and I live in Warrington during the holidays so I want to go to galleries in the north west. I want to hear from people who work in galleries, people in the art industry and those who have done work experience in galleries.

I know it's a bit early but there is likely to be long waiting lists so I want to start contacting people as soon as possible.

It is tough to find paid work at this stage in a gallery but all small galleries could use an extra pair of unpaid hands with new exhibitions. If you send a covering letter along with your CV highlighting your ambitions and what your degree course involves and if you say how motivated, energetic and passionate you are then you will hopefully have some success.

Volunteer yourself to all the galleries, big or small that you can find. I speak from experience! Best of luck, chick!

i think its a great ideal and may be a bit early please answer my question please
