Vanasselstine has a vision for downtown Niagara Falls. He said that right now the many art galleries on Queen Street are Niagara's best-kept secret, but he and many other artists have a vision that it can become the Paris of Canada. Vanasselstine's art gallery was the first fulltime art gallery to come to the street and since then many others are trying to follow suit.
By splurging on a can of paint, Mordechai Grun has done more for Queen Street than Aaron Lichtman ever did. You'll notice a fresher appearance to several downtown buildings after recent paint jobs and other cosmetic improvements were made to some storefronts owned by Historic Niagara Development. In addition to the cosmetic surgery, this weekend’s Springlicious food and music festival, and the explosion of art galleries are encouraging signs downtown finally seems to be on the cusp of something big – something good – after years of neglect. Grun, originally from Toronto, is doing what Lichtman, from New York City, should have done three years ago. He's actually filling some storefronts, instead of leaving them empty, stagnating and dragging down everything around them.
