As per the current docs[0], you need to provide a dotted path to your model in the form app.ModelName when defining a ForeignKey.
So try this instead: GalleryId = models.ForeignKey('galleryview.Gallery', verbose_name=_('Gallery Id'), related_name='Gallery_Id',blank=True, null=True, help_text=_("You can associate a photo gallery to this event here.")) If you don't mind me saying, 'galleryview' is a funny name for a django module, considering how we use the name 'view' for something else entirely.
