That's how Damien Hirtst started in 1988, he seems to have done alright for himself since then.

I would say any gallery thats interested in Art qualifications aint worth bothering with

Pointless approaching urban galleries if your work is purely fine art and vice versa. Find the name of the right person to address your stuff to also.
Be polite and not over pushy. Going in to galleries in person doesn't work. Waving a portfolio in someone's face can irritate, besides, not all the owners/directors will be working in the gallery in person when you visit.
Take the best photos of your work possible for email or postal submissions. Emails seem to suit most galleries best with a website link they can click on.
