Swings Tampa Bay is a group that hangs hand-made hand-painted Swings around the city of Tampa Bay, Fl. The swings are hung on trees, bridges, various structures, inside buildings, and in other locations.
The project came out of a environmental design project to hang classic red Swings all over downtown St. Petersburg, FL. Reuban and Hunter, the team behind the project began to notice that a swing had a powerful effect on the community. “People that would have never even acknowledged each other were immediately magnetized to their new discovery and began sharing warm conversation and new experiences while pushing each other high up into the air,” they write on the Swings website.
They received a community award, and hosted a “Let’s Paint Swings” event where anyone could hand paint a swing to be hung or hang it themselves. 100 Swings were painted at the event. Since then there has been 5 swing painting events, 135 swings have been hung, and over 1028 swings have been painted.
Why not put a swing on it?
