Call it the latest round of the battle to fund the arts in Niagara Falls.

Mayor Paul A. Dyster this morning called on the city council to accept a $15,000 “challenge” grant made earlier this month by the John R. Oishei Foundation.

The grant, if matched by the city council, would go to fund the Niagara Arts & Cultural Center, which features dozens of artists and musicians that teach classes in the former Niagara Falls High School on Pine Avenue.
