Essays and Videos

Gallery Stratford’s artistic vision is to bring the best of contemporary Canadian art to the community to foster learning and creativity. This is accomplished by presenting a diverse roster of artists from the province and the country, by encouraging art production in the region, and exploring relevant ideas through educational programming. The ideas explored by the exhibiting artists are animated through a wide variety of educational initiatives for all ages, from artist talks, workshops, tours, to unique school programs to connect the Gallery audience to the world of Canadian art.

In the upcoming year, the Gallery will be implementing an online publishing program to disseminate information on exhibitions to contribute to the dialogue of Canadian visual art. Written content will allow the Gallery to contribute to the Canadian contemporary art dialogue, to promote the artists, and the provide profile for the Gallery’s exhibitions.
