SCARF Board of Directors
Ransom Reid has joined the Shelter Cove Arts and Recreation Foundation (SCARF) Board of Directors. 

Ransom has been involved with SCARF by participating, taking, and teaching youth workshops for the past 10 years. He has volunteered in many projects, such as working to build the Children's Garden, the nature trails, and being a server at the wine pairing held several years ago.  Ransom developed and taught the youth Photography workshop, and plans to bring more focus on youth orientated projects, among many other goals.
 
SCARF also wants to thank outgoing Board Member Alec Swanson for his service.  While on the Board, Alex helped maintain the Nature Trails, and arranged for many donations of supplies for the Children's Garden, to name a few.  
 
We are excited to have Ransom join our Board and we wish all the best to Alec.


Silent Auction from December 24th through February 11th - a new way to purchase art!
The Shelter Cove Arts and Recreation Foundation and the Lost Coast Artists are announcing a new and fun way to purchase art. Starting now, the Gallery has one full wall of donated art.  This art will be sold at silent auction, and you may view the art and submit your bids from now until February 11th. Most pieces have minimum suggested bids starting at $25, and most of the art is framed, and from local artists. If you submit a bid and later want to make a higher bid, you are welcome to do that.
 
There will be a reception at the Gallery on the 11th of February from 4:00 - 7:00 pm where winning bids will be determined. You do not need to be there to have your bid accepted. There is also art for sale that is not part of the silent auction, and the proceeds from the silent auction go to SCARF to help maintain the Gallery.

The Gallery is located in the Inn of the Lost Coast, 205 Wave, Shelter Cove, and is open every day from 11 am to 4 pm.  For questions, call 707-986-7120


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.

In 2022 the Children's Garden and Playground was completed.
​

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