Right so these are the galleries I actually bob into on me days off, usually with a coffee in hand and crumbs from a Pot Kettle Black pastry still on me jumper! Mix of proper fancy ones and tiny hidden gems that mates always miss. Heads up esea contemporary's doing a bit of a refurb and reopens Feb 21st so hold tight on that one, but everything else is buzzing right now, go say hiya!
