The hair industry in Detroit is very active and creative, so we thought the Heidelberg Project was a great way for us to take off a Saturday of working in the salons to share some of the creative hair artistry to the street festival. The Heidelberg Project supplied us with everything we needed and was very professional in presenting their event. We would love to work with them again.

Mission: The Heidelberg Project (HP) is a Detroit community-based non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire people to appreciate and use artistic expression to enrich and improve their lives, and to improve the social and economic health of the greater community. We envision residents using art to rebuild the structure and fabric of under-resourced communities and creating a way of living that is economically viable, enriches lives, and welcomes all people.
Results: Engaged community in activities, programming and maintenance of the project. Provided art activities to neighborhood children and schools throughout Michigan. Organized bi-annual community festivals since 1992.
Target demographics: All ages and races with a focus on low-income urban community residents and K-12 students.
Direct beneficiaries per year: Interns, volunteers, students
Programs: The Heidelberg Project is actively engaged in art and education and community development. Our current programs include the ACE2: Art, Community and Environmental Education program; the Emerging Artist program, a branch of YAH, the Young Associates of Heidelberg; and the development of the House That Makes Sense Center, our future center of operations.
