Detroit Food Academy to move into Heidelberg Project's former headquarters Detroit — The Heidelberg Project's former headquarters on the city's east side were sold to the Detroit Food Academy, the MacDougall-Hunt neighborhood's newest tenant, according to a news release Monday. The 4,500-square-foot space on MacDougall Street just off Gratiot Avenue houses a fully equipped commercial kitchen and sold for $360,000. The Detroit Food Academy, a nonprofit started by "Top Chef" contestant Kiki Louya, will move in this year and use the space for teaching-kitchens, a college and career center, office space and a small youth-run cafe, according to the news release. The property will facilitate the nonprofit's vision of supporting food entrepreneurship and workforce development. "Marrying our signature youth development programming with world-class hospitality training, Detroit Food Academy will allow hundreds of students each year to access enriching afterschool programs, earn industry credentials, receive one-on-one job coaching, experience real-world professional training, and explore career and educational opportunities uniquely suited to their interests," Louya said in the news release. The Heidelberg Project, an outdoor art environment in the McDougall Hunt neighborhood on Detroit's east side, was started in 1986 by Tyree Guyton. Known for its unique installations and exhibits, the project attracts thousands of visitors each year. "I welcome Kiki and the DFA to the community and can’t wait to see what they’ll cook up," Guyton said in the news release. "I hope we can create something fantastic together." Guyton still lives next door to the former headquarters, and the Heidelberg Project no longer has a physical administrative office. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization refocused on the project's core outdoor art environment, spokesman Dan Lijana wrote in an email. The property sale will support the Heidelberg Project’s main art environment on Heidelberg and Elba Place Streets between Ellery and Mt. Elliott Streets, Executive Director Andy Sturm said in the news release. "The sale to DFA also supports the continued development of McDougall Hunt as a destination for creativity, civic engagement, and service to the community," Sturm said. The Detroit Food Academy plans to integrate both food and art into local educational programming, the news release said. hmackay@detroitnews.com Want to comment on this story?

Plenty of creepy discarded doll weirdness to be seen at Detroit, Michigan's outsider art installation, the Heidelberg Project. A whole city block of strange collections and oddities, total gold for the purposes of photography!
