The Hertel Alley Street Art Festival was started in 2019 by Councilmember Joel Feroleto, Newell Nussbaumer, and Vinny Alejandro, of Urban Inspirations. Hertel Alley is three blocks long located between Traymore and Colvin parallel to Hertel Avenue. This public art festival, expanded the Hertel Walls project and cleaned up the alley to create a fun and safe space for people to visit in North Buffalo. The festival produced over 20 murals along the alley that City of Buffalo residents can now enjoy.
