+ I'm planning a visit to the HP. Is it safe?

While we make every effort to maintain a reasonable level of safety within the Heidelberg Project, please use caution and common sense as you would in any large urban area. Please beware of panhandlers soliciting for donations or unauthorized tours of the Heidelberg Project. Do not leave valuables visible in your vehicle and use caution if venturing beyond the Heidelberg Project on foot. We recommend that you travel by car or by taxi.

+ How do I get to the Heidelberg Project?

The Heidelberg Project can be found by GPS at 3600 Heidelberg Street, Detroit MI, 48207.

+ Can I freely walk through the HP when I visit?

Yes, you are free to take a polka-dotted stroll on your own. We do, however ask that you are respectful of the private property of our neighbors by only walking on the sidewalks and through open lots. Additionally, much of the artwork is heavily weathered. We ask that you please refrain from touching the artwork to avoid any injury.

+ Can I take photos when I visit?

Yes, as long as they are used for non-commercial purposes only as the Heidelberg Project is copyright protected by law. If you are interested in filming or taking photos for commercial purposes you will need to contact our office for approval. Please note that we will need a film request form on file to process your request. We also ask that you do not photograph residents, including children, as it is invasive!

+ How can I learn more about the installations at the site?

Take a walking tour of the Heidelberg Project by downloading our free mobile app for Apple and Android.

+ What's up with all the clocks?

The clocks have become a major theme at the Heidelberg Project and we find that this is a time for us to reflect where we have been, where we are now, and where we are going. In a more philosophical sense, the clocks parallel reference to what the great philosopher Plato said about time, which was that "time is a moving image of reality" and how Albert Einstein said that "time is an illusion." Therefore, the times painted on the clocks do not hold a particular meaning in reference to time but pose questions of: What time is it? What is your reality? What time is it for you in the world today?
