From drug dealers to art galleries, Heidelberg Project founder has come long way

DETROIT — Before turning a ravaged Detroit street into a work of art in 1986, Tyree Guyton confronted drug dealers who were ensconced there. If they wanted to sell drugs, they should become a doctor, he told them. If they wanted to carry a gun, they should join the Army. Being an artist, Guyton transformed his message into art, painting a series of crosses up and down Heidelberg Street. The young criminals began calling him the Voodoo Man. The Voodoo Man, who spoke during a solo exhibit of his work Saturday at the Shepherd, a former church turned art gallery on Detroit's east side, has come a long way. Back then, his Heidelberg Project was derided by many as an eyesore. Today, his work is shown in major collections around the world. Guyton, whose exhibit runs through Nov. 21, attributed the success of the long journey to courage, not just in facing down drug dealers, but in picking himself back up every time someone told him he wasn’t any good. “They way to fix it is to fix yourself,” he said. “You have to fight for this. Most people are not living in the world today. We are in a

Detroit Institute of Arts to reopen two 'reimagined' galleries

As part of a transformation of the Detroit Institute of Arts' second-floor north wing, the reimagined Modern and Contemporary Art Galleries will debut on Sunday. The museum says it's the first comprehensive reinstallation of both collections in 20 years. The two permanent galleries showcase beloved classics, recently acquired objects and rarely displayed works. In all, the two spaces show more than 375 items. Detroit connections are highlighted in both galleries. “The opening of our new modern and contemporary art galleries marks the culmination of an inclusive and ambitious vision for how we present the art of our time,” said DIA leader Salvador Salort-Pons in a statement. He is the Mary Anne and Eugene A. Gargaro Jr. director, president, and CEO of the Detroit Institute of Arts. “Woven throughout these rooms are works by Detroit artists, placed alongside celebrated names from around the world, so that our audiences will see their own city, histories, and experiences reflected on our walls," he said. "These galleries affirm that Detroit is not only a place where great art is shown, but where it is made, and they will inspire generations to come to imagine their own place in that story.” The transformation of the

U-M-Los Alamos data center site 'highly archeologically sensitive'

The controversial Ypsilanti Township site chosen by the University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratory for a $1.25 billion data center project is "highly archeologically sensitive," a major past trail route for Native American tribes that may include both artifacts and graves, the State Historic Preservation Office has informed project officials. Both Ypsilanti Township and the United Tribes of Michigan, a coalition of the 12 federally recognized tribes in the state, have passed resolutions calling on U-M to undertake a comprehensive archaeological review of the 144-acre site on Textile Road near Bridge Road, and to better consult with the tribes before disturbing sites of potential significance to their heritage. "It's disgraceful that they have not reached out and consulted the Native American tribes, given the historic nature of their relationship at U-M with the Huron River and knowing full well that the Bentley Library is filled with information and maps on the indigenous Native American trails throughout Washtenaw County," said Ypsilanti Township Attorney Doug Winters. U-M proposes a "high-performance research computing center" at the site in partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory, a New Mexico-based research institution focused on national security — including the manufacture of plutonium pits, the

Farmington theater leans on upgrades, alcohol and the internet for resurgence

FARMINGTON — It's a cold and drizzly evening in early November, and Lucy Savoy is outside the Farmington Civic Theater. On the evening of Nov. 5, Savoy and her teammates on Clarkston High School's ski team made the trek to Farmington to watch ski documentarian Warren Miller's 2026 feature, "Days Off." The ski team crowded down the sidewalk with other moviegoers as they made their way into the theater lobby, which quickly filled up. "This is like a whole experience," said Savoy, 18. "They have booths and stuff, and it’s amazing. We’re really excited to go see the movie.” "Days Off" is just one of the special screenings at the Civic Theater that'll play this month at the quaint theater on Grand River Avenue in downtown Farmington. More than 25 years after the city of Farmington purchased the 1939 building to better control how it would be used, theater and city leaders are pushing to sustain it. The theater got an alcohol license earlier this year and recently installed new leather rockers from the Romeo Theater, another small-town theater that shut down earlier this year amid changing movie-goer habits. Officials have also discussed installing a pizza oven at the theater.
