The Heidelberg Project - outdoor community art environment

The Heidelberg Project is an outdoor art environment created by artist Tyree Guyton beginning in 1986 on Heidelberg Street that uses painted houses and found objects to create large-scale installations. The project has drawn international attention, educational programs, and tourism, and has also been subject to arson and periodic city removals, making its history contested at times. It continues to operate as an evolving community art project and cultural attraction.
