STRATFORD artists are getting a whole new perspective of Waterside in a new floating gallery.

Dylan Hemley of the new Barge Gallery at teh canal basin in Stratford.

Artists will be based on a 65ft narrowboat while they paint and, at the same time, they will be able to display and sell their work to passing members of the public.

The floating gallery is the brainchild of local artist Dylan Hemley, whose mother, sculptor Vikki Izaak will be one of the artists working on board the boat which is moored in the Bancroft Basin from 10am until dark, seven days a week.
