Gallery Stratford, Contemporary art museum in Stratford, Canada.
Gallery Stratford occupies the former Stratford Pump House, a Queen Anne-style building designed by London, Ontario architect George F. Durand and standing on the bank of the Avon River. The gallery, founded in 1967, mounts exhibitions of local, national and international visual artists in the converted waterworks building.
The museum was founded in 1967 and ranks among Ontario's longest-running public art institutions. It converted the city's former municipal pump house into a lasting venue for contemporary art.
Gallery Stratford runs seasonal studio classes in oil painting, drawing, illustration, photography and printmaking for adults and children. School visits are tied to the curriculum and change with the exhibitions on view, and the Arts Alive program covers drawing, photography, animation, painting, sculpture and collage.
Gallery Stratford occupies the former Stratford Pump House at 54 Romeo Street, on the bank of the Avon River. The building was designed by George F.

The institution manages a scholarship program that supports local high school students pursuing careers in visual arts through annual grants. This initiative reflects the institution's commitment to fostering artistic development in the community.
