Summer might be drawing to a close, but art, music and food enthusiasts in Niagara Falls can bid farewell to the warmer weather at an upcoming event in a brand-new venue.
The Exchange Arts & Culture Hub (5943 Sylvia Place) is set to host the annual Niagara Falls Night of Art event on Sept. 21–the same day as its grand opening.
According to the city, the new 10,000-square-foot facility will officially open its doors for “an evening of art installations, live music, performances, food & drinks and more.”
The event, which has historically been held at the Niagara Falls History Museum, will also offer attendees guided tours of the venue. The new space features a market hall, artist and woodworking studios, a gallery and a cafe.
The event will include over 40 artisans, makers and vendors.
“It’s truly an exciting time for the Niagara Falls arts and culture community,” said Clark Bernat, senior manager of culture, in a statement.
