To enhance the lives of artists and people of all ages and abilities by promoting a creative community through exhibitions, public art, cultural initiatives, outreach, education, advocacy, and connection. Arts Alliance of Stratford, a 501c3 non-profit, supports and fosters the growth of the arts, educational and cultural experiences in the Stratford, CT region. We do this through collaborations among professional and emerging artists of all mediums, patrons of the arts, businesses, schools and community organizations, as well as through advocacy for the arts. We believe that a community’s appeal, economic vibrancy and quality of life are enriched by a diverse and thriving arts and cultural scene. We provide a sense of place, where residents and businesses are enriched by engaging in a creative community. We collaborate with area organizations to expand our reach and increase overall community assets. We provide opportunities for members to share art for community benefit.
