The Heidelberg Project is an outdoor art environment in Detroit, Michigan, founded by artist Tyree Guyton in 1986. Located in the McDougall-Hunt neighborhood on Heidelberg Street, the project transforms vacant lots and abandoned houses into a vibrant, large-scale installation using found objects and recycled materials. The artwork addresses themes of urban decay, community, and resilience, and has become a symbol of the power of art to inspire social change and revitalize communities.
