Niagara Falls Exchange awarded Grand Prize by the Niagara Biennial Awards

DTAH is honored to announce that Niagara Falls Exchange received a Grand Prize from the Niagara Biennial Awards! The Public Art at the Exchange also received an Award of Excellence in the Outdoor Art category.

Hosted by Niagara Region, the awards program celebrates design excellence and recognizes good design’s potential to bolster Niagara’s economy. The jury evaluates the project’s ability to address sustainability, livability, inclusivity, vibrancy, and climate change.

The jury commented: “This remarkable project received a Grand Prize for its complexity, innovation, comprehensiveness, quality of construction, success across multiple design disciplines, and the degree of transformative value it provides to the community.”

Since its opening in February 2024, the Niagara Falls Exchange has become a vibrant centre of activity in the community, providing shared spaces where artists, musicians, food vendors and patrons, and local businesses come together and create. The Exchange offers Niagara Falls a purpose-built, consolidated facility in which to expand existing cultural festivals, create new events, and incubate the next generation of arts and culture leaders in the city. The connection to the History Museum supports the authenticity of programming in the Exchange, focused on locally grown talent as well as food, and reinforces this site as a rich cultural and heritage precinct.
