Artists of Color 2023

The Niagara Arts & Cultural Center is pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition with the
12th Annual Artists of Color Exhibition. This exhibit is curated by Ray Robertson, Co-
Director of Galleries, and for 2023 the NACC is proud to be partnering with the Black Pioneers
of Niagara Falls to highlight the legacy and contributions of Black individuals to the Niagara
Frontier. Join us for the Opening Reception of this exhibit on Friday, February 10, 2023 from
6:00-8:00 PM.

This exhibit is envisioned as a representation of the African American experience from a
contemporary and personal perspective, and celebrates the work by African American artists in
Western New York within the visual arts. In partnering with the Black Pioneers of Niagara Falls
this exhibition aims to pair historical photographs of Black individuals from the 1920’s alongside
artwork from the 2020’s. Through this interaction the curator hopes to illuminate the creative and
social contributions of Black individuals within the context of the Niagara Frontier.
