About the Committee

Welcome to Artscene

Artscene endeavours to promote an awareness of and appreciation for arts, cultural, and heritage activities within our community. The committee looks forward to connecting you with many talented organizations and persons in our city.

We offer you a terrific mix of interests from both the audience or the spectator side -- as well as artists & institutions, and producers & artefacts, pooled from a wide range of disciplines and sources: literature, dance, music, (choral, instrumental, & vocal), theatre, craft, fine art, photography, and history.

Public Art Policy

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to provide:

• an effective mechanism for determining appropriateness and method of placement of public art, be it temporary or permanent, within buildings, or outdoors on public lands belonging to the City of Niagara Falls;
• the criteria for the review and selection of public art to be displayed within buildings, or outdoors on public lands;
• criteria for the acquisition of public art;
• guidelines for the management, preservation, interpretation, development and promotion of the City’s public art collection;
• a foundation on which to develop programs that allow Niagara Falls’ residents and visitors to experience art in public places.
