Reeves Import Motorcars

The Outdoor Arts Foundation announced today that it’s “R’Kidtecture” project, featuring 20 children’s playhouses designed and built by Bay area architects and artists will kick-off on Friday, March 26th at Reeves Import Motorcars in Tampa.

Internationally acclaimed photographer, Drew Gardner will be photographing the playhouses the week of March 22nd; and, on Friday, March 26th, the playhouses will be on exhibit for an exclusive, one-night preview party.  This is the first and only time the playhouses will be exhibited together until they are brought to the Sirata Beach Resort and Conference Center on Saturday, November 13th for a gala auction to benefit both Outdoor Arts Foundation and it’s partner in R’Kidtecture, R’Club Child Care, Inc.

The week following the preview party at Reeves, 10 of the playhouses will go on exhibit on the main transfer level of Tampa International Airport where the Foundation has also exhibited fiberglass Loggerhead Sea Turtles in 2001, dog houses in 2004 and fiberglass Manatees in 2006.  The remaining 10 playhouses will be exhibited throughout WestShore Plaza where several past Foundation projects have also been displayed.

For St. Petersburg-based R’Club, the project represents a chance to raise awareness about the organization’s efforts throughout Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties to provide high quality child care and youth development programs for children and their families.  “This is a tremendous opportunity for us to get out in the public eye and educate people about our mission” said Arthur O’Hara, Executive Director for R’Club Child Care, Inc.

Foundation Executive Director Jay Goulde is hoping people will view this project as a free, family-friendly event that will inspire children’s creativity and imagination.  According to Goulde “WestShore Plaza and Tampa International Airport are in close proximity and both free to visit so we’re hoping families will make a day out of seeing the playhouses.”  R’Kidtecture will also feature a complimentary guide book that will be available at the concierge desks at both venues.
