- Check out the best new street art in the Queen City - In our humble opinion, street art is the best art. We ain’t sorry. This past year Western New York has been treated to lots of brand-spankin’ new street art thanks to various public art projects, student initiatives, contests, and great people just being great. From Art Alley in Niagara Falls to the Albright-Knox’s “72 Jewet,” there’s a ton of amazing works of art to admire/take pictures in front of and upload to Instagram. Pro-tip: Stop by the work-in-progress, “Greetings From Buffalo” and say hi to artist Casey Milbrand as he finishes his masterpiece in real time. > Read more on the 9 New Street Art Masterpieces You Should Know About at stepoutbuffalo.com/new-street-art-masterpieces-you-should-know-about
