The Tatler Club is a women’s club in Niagara Falls that operates in the The Porter Mansion, built by Peter A. Porter in 1867. In 1925, Mrs. Augustus G. Porter IV invited 45 women to tea to form a women’s club that promoted important social reforms in education, child labor, and much more. The Tatler Club grew steadily in membership, moving to various locations in Niagara Falls before eventually purchasing and resettling in The Porter Mansion, their original home. In 2004, the City of Niagara Falls recognized the Tatler’s home as a landmark resident and local historical preservation site. In 2016, they formed The Tatler Historic Preservation Foundation, gaining official nonprofit status. Finally, in 2024, The Tatler Club was placed on the New York State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places. The Tatler membership continues its longstanding commitment to education and enriching the community with regular programs and events.

The Castellani Art Museum (CAM) at the center of the Niagara University campus is dedicated to the enjoyment and educational potential of artistic creativity. As a major resource for the visual arts in Niagara County, the CAM's permanent collection includes over 5,000 pieces of mainly modern and contemporary art, and hosts a unique Folk Arts Program supporting traditional artists and community-based cultural traditions in the Buffalo-Niagara region. 

In keeping with Niagara University's Vincentian mission, the museum recognizes and serves the diverse racial, ethnic, and religious communities of the Niagara region through the organization and presentation of exhibitions which honor and explore their artistic traditions and contemporary output. In addition to presenting diverse artistic expressions, the museum works in partnerships to explore and redefine the relationship between the museum and its constituencies.

As a university museum, the Castellani Art Museum serves the educational needs of the community,  by working with Niagara University faculty on integrative learning projects for college students and providing art education programs for area schools and cultural organizations. The museum staff works with educators to develop art-based learning programs that help to promote critical thinking.
