PRESTON'S newest art gallery could be taking an early 'Summer Holiday'.
Room 107, at the Oyston gallery of Contemporary Art, Oyston Mill, Strand Road, is looking to bid for funding to buy a double decker bus to use as a mobile gallery.
The gallery is hoping to take its art work -- mostly produced by local artists -- out on the road to public displays and schools.
Steve Wakefield, one of the founders of the gallery, said: "We'd like to go to supermarket car parks, schools and old people's homes.
"Oyston Mill may seem a strangle place to have an art gallery but if you went to London or New York a space like that wouldn't be unusual at all for a non-commercial gallery."
Each month, the gallery has a different live event, along with the regular art work. This month, on Friday 21 and Saturday 22, Jim Barraff and John Robertson will be performing a modern poetry piece called 'Spoken Word'.
Then, on Friday, March 7 and Saturday, March 8, the Headroom event opens.
Room 107 is free to visit and is open from 11am to 4.30pm from Thursday to Saturday.
