I was a General Member of the Public & I enjoy the art! Once Tyree asked me to paint a dot.

I love driving and walking through the Heidelberg Project at least once a season- because it always changes and because the weather impacts the art. Whenever I have friends come into town to visit, the Heidelberg Project is on the list of places I'm sure to take them to get a feel for Detroit. They are always amazed! Once, a friend was visiting from Sweden and I took here there. Tyree was there working on a project and asked us to help- very memorable!

The Great!
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... how it's always evolving. Each time I take friends there it's different and better than the lat time I was there.

- My experience would have been better if... I knew if the people living in the exhibit feel happy or annoyed by my presence as an onlooker.
I was a General Member of the Public & I tell the story of the Heidelberg Project to everyone I can.

Tyree, Jenenne and the Heidelberg Project are one of Detroit's teasures, one that we share with the world. The language of art surpasses all barriers and speaks volumes about life and the way we live it. The Heidelberg Project challenges each of us who engage in it to rethink our social and economical judgements. It validates our varied cultures and backgrounds and asks us to consider and rethink our priorities. It invites those of all ages and levels of understanding to see that we each have a job to do, we are important as individuals and our comments and actions do matter. Here is a project that has thoughtfully provoked and engaged a world audience...and it started with a kid, a paint brush and some paint.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... the artwork of elementary students who each became someone as artists, learning that art is a language that reaches everyone....their lives will never be the same.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... that it's existence begs thoughtfulness, generosity and hope. It makes us all important and affirms that everyone has a job to do that can make a huge difference.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... do what it has already done on a shoestring...but bigger!

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... people willing to step up to the challenge of accepting responsibility for the life that they live and the judgements they make.
I was a Volunteer & I helped Tyree when I m around Detroit and introduce my friends and colleagues to the H.P.

Hi, I m from France and I visit Detroit as an Air France crew member in charge of the activities for the airline in Detroit. The H.P. is the first place that I had visited in D and then it s one of my favourite place around the world. Education, understanding, openmind, arts, music, colors, people, creation, improvement of man...all these things mean a lot to me. I found a lot of things in H.P. that I couldn't experienced in France in meeting people. For all these things H.P., Tyree Guyton and his works, Jenenne Whitfield and more generally Detroit changed my life and help me to keep faith in what I believe for so long!! True values, Justice and Equality. That's why I love this place and these people and I try to give it back to H.P. and Detroit. Thanks

- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... meeting people and sharing visions of Life with them.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... painters, artists, engineers, architects, volunteers.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... help them to create "the House that make sense" they try to set up for years now and help people to live better in a better environment.
Ways to make it better!
- My experience would have been better if... there was an indoor installation or place on the H.P. to welcome people during winter.

I have been visiting Heidelberg for over ten years now and each time it's different and amazing. The last time we went I was with my eight year old daughter who was able to meet and hang out with Tyree and contribute to the project by painting. While we were there Tyree educated her about the project. She then went back and shared her story with her class and many others. It was a unique experience in which she and I will not forget. We look forward to our next visit soon!
The Great!
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... Friendly and knowlegable
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... Maybe use some land for urban farming? Imagine Do... But you don't really need a million bucks for that just a bit of land to plant on. Would bring in more people and awareness.

- If I had to make changes to this organization, I would… Try to figure out how to make it available to more people. Bring in more field trips, include this on Tours of Detroit. Figure out how to package it into a weekend get a way and promote it to outsiders.
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Finances and or not enough people knowing about it, or suburbanites being afraid to venture out into the city???
- One thing I'd also say is that... We had a great time and will come back again and again and again!

The Heidelberg Project (HP) engenders in the participant/viewer an environment conducive and supportive of wonder as well as a sense of community intertwined with hopeful optimism for good and change. Throughout my life I had been aware of the HP through news reports of demolition of decrepit dwellings and of city council hearings and headlines. It was something of a background. Later on, experiencing it and moving through it allowed me to understand the polarity of reactions coming from all
