All for Art, Art for All

The Outdoor Arts Foundation, Inc. (0AF) is an innovative non-profit, community-based arts organization formed in June 2002. OAF's goal of creating art-in-public places projects to beautify the world is achieved in partnership with corporations, individual patrons, celebrities; and, in close connection with public officials.

Since its inception, OAF has earned positive recognition with the creation of large-scale building wrap murals, public sculpture installations, painted murals on buildings, water towers, water reclamation tanks and sewage treatment tanks; and, community-wide projects featuring everything from fiberglass Manatees and Sea Turtles to architecturally designed dog houses.

The Foundation's broad range of participants includes art students, locally renowned artists and internationally recognized artists such as Romero Britto, Peter Max and Theo Wujcik.

These projects are possible with generous funding, which we have been fortunate enough to receive from forward-thinking businesses such as Psychological Assessment Resources, JMC Communities, the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Wilson Company, all of whom have been essential to the successful growth of the Foundation. Open-minded elected officials like Tampa City Councilwoman Linda Saul-Sena, Oldsmar Mayor Jerry Beverland and Pinellas County Commissioner Karen Seel have all encouraged OAF's efforts.

We now stand at a precipice where we have the opportunity to enhance the cultural and artistic landscape of communities far beyond the Tampa Bay Area. OAF, Inc. is prepared to implement art projects throughout the world with your support from $10,000.00 - $10,000,000.00. To find out how to start proactively changing your community, we cordially invite you to contact our Executive Director, Jay Goulde at (727) 723-8620 or by e-mail at jgoulde@tampabay.rr.com.
