The Art: The Heidelberg Project is art, energy, and community. It’s an open-air art environment in the heart of an urban community on Detroit’s East Side.  Tyree Guyton, founder and artistic director, uses everyday, discarded objects to create a two block area full of color, symbolism, and intrigue. Now in its 23rd year, the Heidelberg Project is recognized around the world as a demonstration of the power of creativity to transform lives.
 

The Organization: The Heidelberg Project is a Detroit-based community organization designed to improve lives and neighborhoods through art.  We envision neighborhood residents using art to come together to rebuild the structure and fabric of under-resourced communities and to create a way of living that is economically viable, enriches lives, and welcomes all people.
 

Where and When: The Heidelberg Project is located in the 3600 block of Heidelberg Street in Detroit, between Mt. Elliott and Ellery.  The outdoor art environment is open to public viewing at anytime.
