Art Park
Since its founding in 1974 through a unique partnership between New York State Parks and the nonprofit Artpark & Company, this 150-acre sanctuary has been a beacon for creativity. Here, artists discover inspiration in the dramatic landscape of the Niagara River Gorge, while visitors and locals alike are invited to share in the vibrant art that springs from it.
For nearly fifty years, Artpark has built a world-renowned reputation as a place where art comes to life. Its stages and grounds have echoed with groundbreaking theater, celebrated musicians, and cutting-edge dance. It has been a canvas for countless visual artists and a gathering place for community festivals. This rich history has cemented Artpark as a destination for everyone, a space where all are welcome to experience and even participate in the creative process.
This living legacy is deeply woven into the natural beauty of the gorge and the significant history of Western New York's Indigenous communities. You can explore it all along forested trails, within serene sculpture gardens, and across open recreation areas. Artpark is more than just a venue—it's an experience waiting for you. Come and see what inspires you.
