Summary
Visual artist Tyree Guyton was born on August 24, 1955 in Detroit, Michigan. He dropped out of Martin Luther King, Jr. High School to join the U.S. Army in 1972. In 1980, Guyton began art classes at Detroit's College for Creative Studies and at Marygrove College. In 1986, he drew attention to street violence by painting found objects with bright polka dots, hanging shoes from trees and nailing stuffed animals and dolls to abandoned houses. Beginning in 1988, Guyton taught or worked as an artist-in-residence at numerous colleges. As the founder of the Heidelberg Project, Guyton also taught Social Action: The Heidelberg Project at Wayne State University. His artwork can be found at the Studio Museum of Harlem, Kresge Art Museum, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art. Guyton was featured on NBC Nightly News, Nightline and the Oprah Winfrey Show. Among others, he received the Wayne County International Artists Award in 2003.
