Heidelberg Project, Art project in McDougall-Hunt neighborhood, Detroit, United States.
The Heidelberg Project transforms houses on Heidelberg Street into art installations using bright colors and found objects from the surrounding area.
Artist Tyree Guyton established this outdoor art environment in 1986 after returning from military service and finding his neighborhood in severe decline.
The installations incorporate everyday items such as dolls, car parts, and household materials to address social issues within Detroit's urban landscape.
Visitors can explore the outdoor art installations daily, with guided tours available through the organization's official website for detailed information.
Each building in the project displays distinct patterns of polka dots combined with collected objects that change throughout different seasons.
