With support from the California Arts Council, the SHELTER COVE ARTS AND RECREATION FOUNDATION (SCARF) will offer 10 free art classes to under-resourced communities* in Shelter Cove and Southern Humboldt. Our goal is to foster a sense of community by encouraging creative collaboration and helping participants develop an appreciation for the area’s natural beauty, biodiversity, and history. Through a diverse range of art classes, we will honor the work of local research and conservation organizations, as well as the rich heritage of indigenous peoples, their preservation practices, and their impact on the community. These classes will introduce artistic mediums, providing students with opportunities to explore their creative potential while being guided through the artistic process.
*Under resourced is defined as: Disabled, Seniors, Veterans, Immigrants, Tribal Communities, LGBTQIA+, Low-Income, Rural, marginalized/under resourced/ Women, and Youth
