With a focus on learning, community access, and cultural connection, the Castellani Art Museum houses a permanent collection of over 5,000 works—including modern and contemporary art, Niagara Falls-themed pieces, and regional folk art. The museum offers year-round exhibitions, public programs, and educational experiences for visitors of all ages—from students to tourists to lifelong art lovers.
What does it mean to see — and be seen — with dignity? In this new exhibition, four faculty members from across Niagara University ask this question through works pulled from the Castellani Art Museum’s collection.
Monsters, for artist Sudi Wang, are not the creatures we should fear. They are the figures that help us understand ourselves. In her upcoming exhibition, Beyond Relief: The Monsters of Sudi Wang, visitors will encounter towering prints, intimate hand-pulled impressions, and immersive installations that invite them into a world where monsters become mirrors of human identity.
Ed Wong-Ligda does not paint landscapes — at least, not in the traditional sense. Instead, his canvases are metaphors, layered with memory, imagination, and the inevitability of change. “Nature, for me, is a metaphor of the persistence of life and the inevitability of death,” he reflects. In Landscapes of Memory and Mortality, Wong-Ligda invites viewers to step into imagined terrains that are at once familiar and disorienting, grounding and ethereal.
