The Stratford Arts and Culture Collective was formed in 2016 with the objective of creating an all-inclusive venue to serve the arts and culture needs of Stratford and area citizens. It works with Stratford arts and culture organizations and independent artists that recognize the need for a well-equipped space where the community can share their work in a variety of traditional and non-traditional media.
Past fundraising events produced by the collective include Wannabe: A Spice Girls Tribute, and Hyprov with Colin Mochrie. The Stratford Arts and Culture Collective is planning two fundraising events later this year.
