Vision 2014
By 2014, Gallery Stratford will be recognized as the leading visual arts destination within Stratford and our neighbouring counties, and a vital aspect of our citizens' and visitors' overall cultural experience.

Gallery Stratford's Mission Statement
Gallery Stratford offers the citizens and visitors to Perth and Huron counties diverse opportunities to explore and develop their interests in visual arts, creativity and learning.

Reaching Out: 2007 to 2012
The following document was the result of work started by Gallery Stratford’s 2007 Board of Trustees and continued in 2008 as part of the Board’s examination of the Gallery’s long term strategic direction.  The comprehensive background information is built upon the work of previous boards.  The 2009-10 Board is using the document as a key reference point in creating its Five Year Strategic Plan 2010-14.

To make Gallery Stratford a “Destination of Choice” for our citizens and visitors − the theme and goal of our 2014 vision and plan − will require much commitment and energy from our Board, members, and volunteers.  If you are interested in becoming involved, please use the Contact Tab and we will follow up with you as soon as possible.

Annually, Gallery Stratford awards a scholarship to Perth and Huron County high school students who go on to study visual arts after high school. The Ela Moll Scholarship Award was founded by members of the Stratford Community and the Stratford Art Association to commemorate the death of Ela Moll (1950-1969), and to ensure that Stratford and area youth will continue to be encouraged in the Arts.

Ela Moll was a promising young Stratford artist, who was killed in an accident. A prolific artist from a very early age, he was rarely idle and produced hundreds of art works, including ink, etchings, oils/acrylic, silk screens, and sculpture. Moll displayed an extraordinary imagination and a great creative ability, manifested not only in his own work but his leadership to the young people of Stratford. His art works showed an exciting promise that would fulfil an outstanding potential.
