The Heidelberg Project outdoor art environment

The Heidelberg Project is an outdoor, street-level art environment created by artist Tyree Guyton beginning in 1986 using painted houses and found-object installations on Heidelberg Street. It occupies several lots and structures on Heidelberg Street and has been the subject of national media coverage, debates about public art, and episodes of arson and municipal demolition. The project functions as a public art destination and community art space that continues to be maintained and exhibited to visitors.
