Buffalo has gained a reputation in recent years as a city on the rise with unique experiences, new lodging opportunities, and renowned global cuisine. Now, the Queen City continues to shine her crown with a new public art initiative. Vibrant murals add color and culture to Buffalo’s bustling downtown and diverse neighborhoods.

This creativity is part of the fabric of this remarkable destination, and visually demonstrates the city’s commitment to hospitality. We met with the team from Visit Buffalo Niagara to find out more.

Why is Buffalo is becoming known as a center for creativity and diversity?

Buffalo is in the midst of a renaissance. We are a city of rich and diverse cultures, talented artists, and innovative thinkers. Our story is as unique as our transformation, and that story can be experienced through our locals–whether it's viewing the unique and vibrant murals around our city, sampling the countless types of ethnic-infused cuisines, or visiting national historic sites that serve as a narrative to our diverse history.
