Artists Database – needs Data to make it work for you

At the Cultural Summit in 2015, the community requested a digital network of information, a database that would allow artists to know who else is in the community and what supplies, materials or work could be communicated and shared with other artists in the community.
Rick Tisi volunteered to create the database, which is now available.

– Explore past, present and YOUR observations Copper Beech Field Trips with artist Elizabeth Chitty

Step outside the Museum doors and go for a stroll with us through Drummond Hill Cemetery to Ruth Redman Heights. Past and present mingle, as you look and look again. We will walk mostly in silence.  Respond to what you see into an audio recorder, take photos if you like and upload them to the project website.  Meet in the Niagara Falls History Museum lobby.
