The Heidelberg Project Summer Festival

The Heidelberg Project Summer Festival

It all started for artist Tyree Guyton with a red dot 22 years ago. Now that vision has gone on to represent so much to so many and on Saturday, the famous 'Dotty Wotty' house on Heidelberg Street will be the center of a huge block party. “Detroit is nationally and internationally known city of creativity. In Amsterdam, people practically bow when you say ‘Detroit.’ The goal is to highlight the city of Detroit — not what’s going on politically but what’s going on with the people," says Jenenne Whitfield, executive director of the Heidelberg Project and a festival organizer. "And this is a wonderful backdrop to highlight that talent.”
