Following the discussion with a member of East Street Arts at the careers fair, I got in touch asking if there were any opportunities or positions available for me with my current skills. I got in touch and send a copy of my CV over.
I chose to speak with ESA because they are a creative organisation who not only support artists, but deal with putting on arts and culture events in Leeds and beyond. I thought they would be a beneficial source of experience from a more operational point of view, as well as having many links to other creative schemes and businesses.

Leeds Print Workshop
An off-shoot of East Street Arts is Leeds Print Workshop, who run a range of short courses, print workshops, events, and exhibitions in Leeds surrounding traditional print processes.
I got in touch with them asking if there were any spaces for experience, mentioning my experience of print to-date. They replied and mentioned that their membership may be something worth looking into after I graduate.

Leeds Art Gallery
I also decided to contact the gallery on the off-chance that they had any spaces or work-related opportunities available. They got back to me, and their response was helpful but unfortunately there were no posts. They said that front-of-house posts had no educational requirements, and that more curatorial roles required education in that field.
