What if...The Erie Canalway became the longest outdoor gallery in the nation?
 
The unique combination of arts, heritage, and landscape within the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor presents an exceptional opportunity for canal communities to come together to foster community pride, attract new visitors, and stimulate a creative economy through the arts.
 

A number of arts initiatives are already taking place, including:
 

  • Art Walks on Water, Brockport
     
  • Canaltown Studios and Art Trails, Jordan
     
  • Mural Mania, Western and Central Erie Regions
     
  • Art and Pottery Trails inIthaca, Buffalo, Rochester, and Capital Region
