Galleries and an outward facing approach

I have been researching galleries that would potentially exhibit my work as I begin to work as an artist. After I leave university I think that the galleries most likely to exhibit my work are independent ones such as Islington Mill in Salford or krack gallery these are both galleries that have exhibited up and coming artists before they  both have a good reputation and are well known for showcasing new work. Krack gallery is situated in the Northern Quarter of Manchester city centre this is ideal as this is an area well known for arts and culture, galleries such as these rely on people who are interested in viewing art coming across spaces such as these.by showing my work more frequently in spaces such as these I will gain publicity. Islington mill also offer studios to be rented, a rented studio is a possible avenue for me as it would be a space to work and build a network of other artists with which to work and make contacts. However the studios at Islington Mill do not have many resources or equipment. However if I felt it was necessary to use facilities such as screen printing the studio CDM in Manchester has more resources such as this.  I will aim to involve myself in groups similar to the students who set up service wash in order to gain contacts and gain publicity for my work. looking further to the future once I have established myself and my practice I hope to exhibit my work at more well-known galleries such as site gallery in Sheffield. Whilst on Unit X I have exhibited my work In two exhibitions as stated earlier.
