** May 2022 Updates **

Memorial Weekend Gallery Reception - May 28th 4:00 - 7:00 pm
The Shelter Cove Arts and Recreation Foundation and the Lost Coast Artists invite you to join us on on Saturday, May 28 from 4-7 pm at the Shelter Cove Art Gallery, located inside the Inn of the Lost Coast.
Our featured artist is Mary Neufeld, and there will be plenty of new art from other artists.
Ray Bevitori will be there to provide entertainment, and drinks and snacks will be available.


Artist in Residence Program
The Shelter Cove Arts and Recreation Foundation and the BLM are moving the second artist in residence program, originally scheduled to begin in late April, to September. We had plenty of qualified applications, but there were administrative issues within BLM that prevented the event from happening until later this year.

New Event - 2022 Painted Mountains Tour
SCARF and BLM are announcing a new event, called the 2022 Painted Mountains Tour. It will include Native American Jazz Trumpeter Delbert Anderson, along with other native Americans who will be performing in the Cove on July 4.
More details will be coming out in the future.


Children's Garden Grand Opening
The Children's Garden is just about ready, and its new signs that are on the way. An official grand opening date will be announced soon. If you are interested in being part of the committee that will decide what plants and seeds to plant, please contact Linda Franklin at wl_franklin@sbcglobal.net

The SCARF Fundraiser at Gyppo Ale Mill on April 7th was a major success!
The fundraiser was a major success in every way.  We had a huge crowd all night, great music, fantastic weather, and lots of money raised from beer sales and even more money raised from our blind silent auction. SCARF thanks Gyppo Ale for hosting the event and donating a dollar for each pint of beer sold between 5-7 pm, as well as donating a $60 gift certificate to auction in a fundraiser.  We also thank the Fish Tank Coffee Shop who donated a $25 gift certificate to auction, and Mike Caldwell who donated The Spa Suite, at the Inn of the Lost Coast valued at $385 to auction. SCARF also thanks the band Rock Stew that played from 5 pm until 8 pm, with lively and exciting music to keep the crowd hopping.
A big Thank you also goes to the Shelter Cove community who came out in huge numbers to support SCARF.  


Looking for new Artists
We are always looking for new artists to join the Lost Coast Artists and the Shelter Cove Art Gallery. There is an annual membership fee of $25 to join the groups, and commission for art sold is 25%. If interested, please send your $25 membership to SCARF at 1060 Upper Pacific Drive, Whitethorn, CA 95589 or pay via PayPal here.​
Who are We?

The Shelter Cove Arts and Recreation Foundation (SCARF) was established in 2012 with the mission of improving the quality of life in Shelter Cove by offering art and recreational experiences. 

We have a volunteer board of directors, and we plan to hold one public meeting a year to gather input relating to arts and recreation in our community. 


There are no membership dues. All children's classes are free of charge, and adult classes may include a material fee.


Our Accomplishments
Since our inception, we have developed a softball field, three nature and exercise trails, an Art Gallery, and sponsored the Plein Air at the Lost Coast event for three consecutive years from 2014 - 2016. 

In 2019 we partnered with the Bureau of Land Management to sponsor the Artist in Residence Program. During 2019, we hosted three different artists at various times during the year. Due to COVID, we were unable to host the event in 2020 and 2021, however plans are underway for Spring 2022. Click here for more info.

Each year, we offer several children and adult workshops, including photography, electronic kit building, cooking, tile
mosaic, and a Labor of Love Quilt show.
