For over 50 years Gallery Stratford has presented engaging and inspiring art exhibitions and creative and challenging art educational programs thanks to the generous support of the Stratford community.  To continue to sustain and grow these programs we launched The Gallery Stratford 100 campaign in 2018 and invited 100 community supporters to commit a $25 donation, or more, each month. 

Over 100 individuals supported our campaign the first year allowing us to reach our $30,000 goal.  We challenged you in 2020 and the Gallery Stratford 100 became the Gallery Stratford 150 with an ambitious goal of $50,000.  Again, thanks to you, we ended 2020 with 177 Gallery Stratford 150 members and donations totalling $54,205.  These funds were directed to enhancing the exhibition and outreach programs we provide for our community.   

The impact of COVID-19 is still with us.  Many of our regular revenue streams have disappeared or were diminished and we are still operating with a permanent staff of one supported by temporary grant funded students and recent graduates.  Despite this, we had a very successful 2021.  Thanks to funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, FedDev Ontario and Peter Maranger and The Co-operators we were able to transform our lobby and educational studios and create our new multi-purpose studio / performance space The Shed.  Our outdoor exhibition space Art in the Trees provides new opportunities for photo-based artists and is accessible 24/7.  Our doors are open seven days a week with extended evening hours Monday through Wednesday and free admission thanks to Orr Insurance & Investment.  The success of these programs is thanks to our generous community who participated in these activities and came out to show their support.  

We are counting on you to help us reach our 2021 target of $60,000 and grow our Gallery Stratford 100 to the Gallery Stratford 200.  Please consider donating $25 a month to our 2021 Gallery Stratford 200 campaign.  If you are already a member, please consider topping up your donation this year by $5, $10, $15 or $25 a month, or adding an additional one-time donation.

You will receive a tax receipt for the full amount of your donation to the Gallery Stratford 200.
