Mill Bridge Gallery

Mill Bridge gallery is situated in Skipton, a town nearby to my home. I visited very recently with my friend from my foundation course at Leeds College of Art, who is now a portrait painter, to view the current work exhibiting and enquire on the possibility of displaying work. The gallery is a particularly beautiful and intimate space. You’re presented with an incredible range of sculptural pieces, paintings and photography prints. I was exceptionally impressed with the quality of many of the pieces. It was also fantastic to see a friend from the foundation had already beaten us to it and had a print hanging on the wall.
When chatting to the owner Carina, she seemed very enthusiastic about us presenting work to her in the future and offered the opportunity to visit again with a portfolio of work, including prepared and framed prints, that if deemed good enough could go up there and then. I am looking at trying to create a series of images that will be appropriate as I think they will be more interesting to present and could be more valuable. I have planned to meet her first week of the summer. I think this is a fantastic opportunity for me.
