There’s a new street art mural in town, Buffalo! Hertel Alley’s latest work of art by local artist, Chuck Tingley serves as a public tribute to Western New York’s frontline workers who are giving so much during this unprecedented time, as well as a continued reminder of their commitment to and sacrifice for our community.

The mural is located just off Hertel Avenue and Traymore in Hertel Alley (1235 Hertel Avenue in the Hertel Alley, Buffalo, NY 14216). Hertel Alley is a long alleyway full of murals along both sides and well worth a visit if you’re looking to check out a lot of street art all at once.

Mr. Tingley is graciously donating his time and talent, and it’s The Baird Foundation’s honor and privilege to fund his supplies and expenses,” said Catherine F. Schweitzer, Executive Director, The Baird Foundation.
