Folk Arts & Education
The Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University is home to the only full-time Folk Arts Program on the Niagara Frontier. We work in partnership with local artists and community scholars to document and present their cultural traditions. Our exhibitions, publications, artist demonstrations, performances, workshops and other activities:
- Recognize the artistic contributions of the region's many diverse peoples.
- Promotes a better appreciation and understanding of cultural differences
- Call attention to the cultural resources that give our region its unique character
- Help preserve our region's cultural heritage for future generations
