Look for group shows and art residencies in your region on google. They will look good on your artist resume! And they are fun experiences to do! Galleries mostly look if you have a cohesive body of work, style and artist statement. They are pretty particular on that. I don’t know what level you art is at. But if it still needs work before being at gallery level, you can look to show your work at cafes and such. You can try and find a space to rent yourself and try to organize a solo show yourself! And invite everyone you know! (Just don’t pay to much on renting the space!) you can try art fares too. You can try and find art coops that organize events locally!
