I was really pleased to find out that we could opt to do a placement as part of our 2nd year. I decided that if I were to do one I would like it to be in a gallery, as I would like to learn more about the workings of the gallery, and I've also particularly enjoyed the curatorial side to my degree.
I applied for a placement in the Marketing Department of New Art Gallery Walsall in November and heard back from them in January, where they asked me to come in for a chat.
A few weeks ago I met with the Marketing and Development assistant to talk more about the gallery, and what dates would be best for both of us. As I had stated that I'd like to work there on one of their more busy weeks, she said that it'd be best for me to complete a full week (12th March - 19th March), in which the gallery would be preparing for the opening of the Transmitter/Receiver exhibition, which opens on 4th May.
