Dave Creek’s Traveling Treehouses Art Exhibit to Come to Shriners Children’s Hospital in Pasadena

Dave Creek’s Traveling Treehouses, a nonprofit organization established in memory of the late artist Dave Creek, is bringing its magical treehouse collection to Shriners Children’s Southern California in Pasadena.

The exhibit, which will be showcased at the medical center outside the surgical wing starting in August 2023, will allow young patients and their families to enjoy the whimsical artwork during their time at the hospital. The exhibit will be displayed for a duration of six months.

The organization’s mission is to bring David’s magical treehouse collection to children’s hospitals, as he had intended. Shriners Children’s Southern California in Pasadena will be the first children’s medical center to host the exhibit.

Dave Creek was not only known for his incredible bonsai treehouse creations but also as the lead character designer for the Emmy Award-winning animated series, Bob’s Burgers. Over the course of 17 years, Dave dedicated himself to crafting the intricate and magical treehouses, which will now bring joy and wonder to children in hospitals.

Shriners Children’s Southern California, renowned for its exceptional care and commitment to pediatric patients, is a wonderful partner for this initiative. The hospital’s dedication to improving the lives of children aligns perfectly with the mission of Dave Creek’s Traveling Treehouses, making it an ideal location to launch this unique exhibit.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Shriners Children’s to bring Dave Creek’s magical treehouse collection to life,” said Aleasha Ramsay, spokesperson for Dave Creek’s Traveling Treehouses. “We believe that art has the power to heal and provide solace, and we hope that through this exhibit, we can bring a touch of wonder and joy to the brave children facing challenging times.”

The exhibit at Shriners Children’s will feature the entire collection of Dave Creek’s enchanting treehouses, each meticulously created to transport children into a world of imagination and adventure. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the intricate details of the artwork, discovering hidden treasures and whimsical characters within each treehouse.

Dave Creek’s Traveling Treehouses is actively seeking partnerships and sponsorships to expand the exhibition to other children’s hospitals across California by joining forces with like-minded organizations, we can continue to honor Dave Creek’s legacy and brighten the lives of pediatric patients.
