This one-of-a-kind not-for-profit arts and cultural organization is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the City of Niagara Falls and its people, as well as promoting arts and cultural experiences. The NACC hosts many events, including 12 annual gallery shows, a full theater season, opera performances, art workshops, music and dance classes, history lectures, and a "Discover Niagara" Summer Youth Program.

Located in the former Niagara Falls High School building in the heart of Niagara Falls, the NACC is home to over 75 artists. The NACC is considered a model for historic preservation and adaptive reuse. The former classrooms have all been converted into rentable art studios and community use facilities, making the NACC the largest multi-arts center in New York.

The Underground Railroad exhibit at the NACC, “Freedom Crossing: The Underground Railroad in Greater Niagara,” tells the story of the Underground Railroad Movement in Buffalo and Niagara—and of the people who risked their lives, all in the name of freedom.

The galleries are free and open to the public.
