MISSION STATEMENT
To use our resources effectively to create meaningful arts and culture experiences in Stratford for our community and surrounding areas.
OUR VALUES
• Honouring and enhancing the city’s artistic and cultural life
• Collaboration with other like-minded organizations
• Inclusion of all Stratford citizens in our planning, regardless of their age, income, religious or
ethnic origins, or any other visible or invisible identifier.
OUR ARTISTIC BELIEFS
The Arts and Culture Collective is founded on these core beliefs:
• The arts are a vital part of Canada’s and Stratford’s daily life
• The arts are for all citizens
• The arts are transformational, and challenge our perceptions to help us grow individually and
collectively
• The arts are both traditional and non-traditional.
The Stratford Arts and Culture Collective is pleased to acknowledge the support of organizations and agencies which have given financial assistance to the Stratford Arts and Culture Collective.
