Notable Book Tour in Morenci, MI

Tyree & Jenenne recently stopped in Morenci, MI to promote "Connecting the Dots" on the Michigan Notable Books Tour.

The people of Morenci (population approx. 2,500) extended a warm welcome to The Heidelberg Project, spending weeks preparing for the visit. They also created many works of art emulating Tyree's artwork, such as "Faces in the Hood" style self-portraits, polka-dot painted shoes, recycled material sculptures, and polka-dot bookmarks.
