What a hidden gem! I saw a sign for an Art Centre and naturally, I had to investigate! In an old…read morepumphouse, with a lighthouse on the property- you will find a quaint little art centre, gallery and studio space for classes. They are currently looking for a pottery instructor too! The gallery space was phenomenal, No pictures are allowed of the artwork, so my only photos are outside, but the space just is wonderful. The first room featured one artist- abstract paintings with vivid colors that really spoke to me and had me wanting to come home and paint! I have a huge canvas hanging in my bedroom that I spent 3 months creating, abstract- some of it was literally me finger painting, lol. But it felt the same as this body of work- playful, open to interpretation. I saw windows, faces, mindscapes. John said they had great texture and he said he easily could see my own work in a similar fashion. The second larger room doubled as a classroom/studio with plenty of storage and countertops, open flooring to set up tables for projects. I can only imagine they also use the yard outside for space- especially on a gorgeous day like when we were there. Situated right on the mouth of the Niagra River- there are stunning views with wonderful breezes off the water. All of the art is for sale, so support a wonderful artist! You can also make a donation directly to the centre- which we did! Love me some art ;)

I just happened upon this lovely little art gallery/studio of local artist Edward Spera when I was…read morein town. What amazing artwork! I'm an abstract artist myself & I really admire people who can paint wildlife & do it very well. Edward's artwork is full of vibrant colour and detail, but besides the visual lushness, there is a feeling in his paintings of a present moment awareness. It's the kind of moment that happens when you're walking along minding your own business & you have an encounter with wildlife where in that moment, you are looking at them & they are looking at you. You share a moment of profound stillness & awareness of the other being. That was my experience when I looked at his paintings. I was traveling at the time so I wasn't able to take any of the framed artwork with me. But I did buy two prints. One for myself & another a present for my husband. We are both enjoying his artwork now in our home.

I understand that they are still working on getting this very old building back into shape.... but…read moreit's still very far from being there. For me, it was more about the safety issues. . . I watched multiple people trip and stumble over crumbling floor tiles, then someone put a carpet down over top of it, which had a curled edge, which meant MORE tripping and stumbling... The main women's bathroom was closed, so every single attendant had to share the single stall handicapped restroom on the first floor. It has amazing potential... but right now, it's not there yet

Outside of the tourist portion of the falls area there really isn't much to see/do. I decided that…read moreafter my meal I was going to go for a walk around the area and see what I could during the remaining daylight. I stumbled upon this alley. I am assuming that they use this area during street festivals or gatherings of sorts. However, I as type that out, it also looked as if it has not been used in a hot minute. There are weeds that line the walkway and some trash could be picked up. Some of the mortar on the walls have fallen off and there are obvious signs of a need for repair. The artwork on the walls are nicely done and show the flair of the area. Vibrant colors that pull you into the alley. I sure do hope that they spruce it up a bit as it could be a big draw to pull tourists further out. It just feels like this area has not fully rebounded from the pandemic.

It's small, will take you just a few minutes to get pics of them all, but a worthy find!
