The Heidelberg Project

Absolutely loved visiting this art installation just a few miles outside downtown. While it was a rainy and cold day, I had the whole place to myself and it did not disappoint. A great deal of the pieces are well thought out and executed while others may seem a bit more unattractive to some. But the point of the installation is to draw visitors to the area in hopes of revitalizing the neighborhood through thought provoking art pieces. Overall a great experience and definitely recommend!

A huge amount of trash and building materials were used to turn a ruined street after people left into such a creative and beautiful street. It's amazing! It will impress those who visit this place and its reputation, spread by word of mouth, will make the streets full of life again.

For the an average Joe tourist it is basically a bunch of random items *collected waste* scattered around in an empty lot near some abandoned houses If you are an art freak/hipster/ photographer it is what you call “found object art” so you would like this place We met Tyree Guyton the honorary director there.. he is a very nice inspiring to talk to.. he dedicated his time to the “inspired by god” project. He explained the how he built this to make the place nicer after it was in ruins

I got pretty emotional here. It resonated with me. I don't know if it was supposed to or not. Faces everywhere. Clocks with different times everywhere. Piles, altogether anonymous but within it familiarity. Watching, timeless and cyclical, lost and buried but there amongst it all. Nothing in excess. The founder introduced himself and said hello. When you visit pat attention to the posted rules.

I'm not sure what to post here. I feel like there is a long backstory that I just don't know or don't understand. It was definitely something to see, and I'm glad we went once, but I don't get it. It's worth checking out as the creativity of reusing "trash" into something different is always cool.

Super unique and fun. A must see for Detroit exploring, either by car or walking. A thought provoking experience. Some of the houses on the street are lived in, some are decorated with the piece and some aren’t. A ton to see, near and far. Each time we ended up seeing different things (we drove passed twice so we could each see both sides.) The city of Detroit is quite sad when you explore the areas with abandoned and burnt homes, run down neighborhoods and homeless. This installation is a bright spot into this world. I recommend at least a drive by when visiting.

A very unique street of art. We were able to meet the artist who is there often to meet people and explain the history of his project. A must do if visiting Detroit. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

I am not sure how I feel about this ‘exhibit’. Was it thought provoking? Absolutely. Did it get a message across? Many. Would I want it in my neighborhood? Definitely not. Is it helping the neighborhood become less distressed?
