Castellani Art Museum, NFP announce partnership

Castellani Art Museum names Niagara Frontier Publications featured media partner for 2026-27 season

The Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University (CAM) is proud to announce Niagara Frontier Publications (NFP) as its featured media partner for the museum’s 2026-27 exhibition and program season.

The year-long collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening community connections through local storytelling. Throughout the season, CAM and NFP will work together to highlight exhibitions, public programs, educational initiatives, artists, and the people who make Niagara’s cultural community thrive.

“Local journalism and local arts organizations share a common mission: connecting communities through meaningful stories,” said Michael Beam, interim director of the Castellani Art Museum. “We are excited to collaborate with Niagara Frontier Publications to amplify the voices of artists, students, educators, and community members throughout the coming year.”

The collaboration will officially launch with a guest editorial by Beam on July 30 and will include ongoing editorial coverage, cross-promotional storytelling, recognition of NFP as CAM’s featured media partner, and dedicated placement in all three issues of The CAM Magazine during the 2026-27 season.

“At the Castellani Art Museum, we believe art becomes most meaningful when it is shared,” said Jess Minicucci, head of marketing and membership. “This collaboration is about more than promoting exhibitions – it’s about fostering goodwill throughout our community, celebrating the people and stories that make our region unique, and working together to ensure that art remains accessible to everyone. We couldn’t ask for a better partner to help us continue that mission.”

“How fortunate are we to have a world-class art gallery right in our backyard?” said Joshua Maloni, general manager and managing editor of Niagara Frontier Publications. “As the hometown newspaper, we believe we are uniquely capable of connecting the community with the Castellani Art Museum. We are thrilled to shine a larger spotlight on a true local gem.”

Niagara Frontier Publications serves the River Region, Niagara County, and Grand Island communities through its flagship publication, the Tribune/Sentinel • Dispatch, and its digital news platform, wnypapers.com. Together, CAM and NFP look forward to sharing stories that celebrate local creativity, inspire curiosity, and encourage greater participation in the arts – reinforcing the museum’s belief that art is for everyone.
