The Heidelberg Project

The Heidiberg Project was such a sight to see! There were so many amazing and creative pieces, and we even got the chance to meet the artist himself. He was so down-to-earth and took the time to answer all our questions. I even bought his picture book and got it signed, which made the experience even more special. If you’re an artist yourself, I highly recommend visiting. I would also encourage donating, as this place is constantly working to improve and grow for the better.

Really enjoyed how open this display was - that you could just walk up to and around the collection. Weather and time hasn't been overly kind to pieces, but popping by this and the murals nearby while you're in the island view neighborhood is definitely worth a stop.

My family and I absolutely love Heidelberg. It's a quirky place to visit that doesn't cost anything. Started by Tyree Guyton to bring Detroit back to life when it was going through hard times. We have been going there for years and have always enjoyed seeing the new creations. Our most recent visit Mr. Guyton happened to be there and he was so friendly. He took pictures with us and allowed me to paint a polka dot on the street. It was definitely a moment to remember. A few years ago my cousin did a documentary on it for his entrance into college making films. This place is truly a Detroit hidden gem and a work of art. It will always have a place in our hearts.

Super cool. The artist is very kind and personable. A lot of emotion in the art. Highkey recommend visiting.

A unique gem - the kind that could only have ever existed at this location, during this particular span of time. The art is beautiful and super cool, but it also serves as a powerful statement about government neglect, civic pride, and the resilience of the human spirit. Kudos to Dr. Guyton for his continued commitment to the project and his childhood neighbourhood. I legit just love the art itself, but the backstory of how it came to be makes Heidelberg all the more compelling!

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!

Attended a private tour, but anyone can walk through the project. It is very interesting. It may have a profound effect on your emotions with mixture of joy, sad, disgust, anger, relief, and hope.

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.
