What’s more Stratford than the arts and the swans?🎨🦢
 
Destination Stratford is proud to have teamed up with local artist Claire Scott to create a custom artwork inspired by our city’s cygnu-ture symbol. From concept to canvas, the piece celebrates the creativity, charm, and character that makes Stratford so special.
 
Watch Claire’s full creative process on our YouTube channel and see how inspiration became a masterpiece! 
 
The artwork was transformed into a beautiful keepsake postcard collection to be distributed in select cities and available at Destination Stratford (47 Downie Street), sharing Stratford’s arts and culture with locals and visitors near and far.
