While Niagara Falls USA is notably known for its scenic natural beauty, local artists are adding splashes of color to already vibrant and unique communities. Take a self-guided tour and discover the region’s most vivid outdoor murals:

A R T A L L E Y N F | N I AG A R A FA L L S Located on Third Street just minutes from Niagara Falls State Park, Art Alley NF is a public mural project. This innovative space combines a pedestrian walkway, public parking, and 19 murals sponsored by local businesses and organizations. A selfie-must: a large letter postcard-style “Greetings from Niagara Falls, New York” mural, or the bright and bold, “Alley Cat.”

A R T PA R K | L E W I S TO N Set high atop the Niagara River Gorge, Artpark celebrates all things art—from live outdoor concerts to interactive installations. Located near the Art Gallery and Box Office, artist Chuck Tingley painted “The Ascent,” featuring cheerful hues of gold and yellow. While you’re there, be sure not to miss the expansive canvases of color in parking lots C and D.

3.

MAIN STREET | LOCKPORT Painted by muralist Augustina Droze, the “Mural on Main” combines images of Lockport’s past, present, and future. The 42-foot icon spotlights the Flight of Five Locks, central figures dressed in period clothing, and numerous inventions dreamed up in Lockport. The mural also showcases agricultural elements and outdoor activities.

4.

N I A G A R A FA L L S H E R I TA G E M U R A L S | N I A G A R A FA L L S A celebration of community in the form of public murals can be viewed along the walls of Depot Avenue and Main Street, adjacent to the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Museum. Painted by local artists, the Niagara Falls Highland Community of Niagara Falls.
