Join Janet Lee for an interactive tour and experience with our city’s unique and fantastic folk art. You will begin by touring the grounds ofWHIMZEYLAND -a unique installation of local artists, Todd and Kiaralinda. Whimzeyland has become a focal point of our little town. Fantastic WHIMZEYLAND has been featured in many television shows including Home Strange Home. This yard is full of wonder with it’s fabulous recycled shrines, 600 bowling balls, mosaic pathways, wire art daisies, and mermaid carvings. You are invited to hop up on the giant mosaic moon, pose with smiling joker heads, and gaze down at the sparkling pathway of inspirational words.
Next, you will visit the Safety Harbor Art and Music Center just blocks away. SHAMc was the brainchild of Kiaralinda and Todd as the next monumental folk art creation but it was created with the help of the arts collective that by that time had been formed. It will remind you of WHIMZEYLAND. This fantastic mirrored mosaic building was literally built by the community one piece at a time. Tour the open air ODD-itorium and see what’s so special about the bathrooms! Find magic with the beautiful life-sized unicorn and pose with Elle the giant elephant. SHAMc is a place that will transform your imagination and get you thinking about how to make your neighborhood special by adding your artistic flair.
Meet your Facilitator-O-Fun, Janet Lee
I grew up in a beige world. When I arrived in Safety Harbor 9 years ago, I knew I finally found my home. The artists welcomed me and opened up their special environments for me. They encouraged me to be a part of their creations and to try new things with creativity and mixed media. In the first year, I was in three parades and had helped to create over ten mosaic pieces for the art center! I was dancing and wearing feathers in my hair and I even changed my career to embrace new technology and design. You know what Oprah says about choosing a new life – well, I did it with the help of this fantastic community! My favorite thing to do is share this wonderful place with visitors! I have stories! I have access! I know people!! Come along with me and we can explore this amazing place I call home.

Meet your Facilitator-O-Fun, Priscilla Velez
Born to a Cuban family in Miami and raised in the beautiful “isla del encanto” in Puerto Rico I grew up amidst colorful and art-filled family and communities which instilled a passion for dance, music, and creativity in me from a very young age. I moved to Safety Harbor and immediately felt embraced by the artist community who took me in as their Spanish/ Spanish music teacher at SHAMc -Safety Harbor Art and Music Center. Living and playing amidst this space together with its people has changed my inner space and the way I see and imagine the world I want to create. Join me as I share stories and fun while we journey through this whimsical land filled with art and beauty.

Shawn Mullins in Concert
on the SHAMc Outdoor Stage
Saturday May 1, 2021 -2 Shows
Early Show- Doors 430pm /Show 5pm
Late Show -Doors 730pm/Show 8pm
$35 in advance/$45 door
706 2nd Street N Safety Harbor FL 34695
Tickets at shamc.org or call 727-725-4018 Rain or Shine/No Refunds
After a series of indie record releases, Shawn Mullins’ critical breakthrough came when 1998 Soul’s Core album shot him to fame on the strength of its Grammy-nominated No. 1 hit, “Lullaby” followed byAAA/Americana No. 1 “Beautiful Wreck” from 2006’s 9th Ward Pickin Parlor. His song, “Shimmer” was used in promotion of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and was included on the Dawson’s Creek soundtrack. He co-wrote “All in My Head” which was featured in episode one of the hit TV sitcom “Scrubs.” Mullins
also co-wrote the Zac Brown Band’s No. 1 country tune “Toes.” In early 2002, he formed super group The Thorns withMatthew Sweet and Peter Droge. Mullins’ most recent album My Stupid Heart, was released in 2015, the theme of which, Mullins says, can be summed up most succinctly by the song title, “It All Comes Down ToLove,” the guiding force behind just about every song on the album. Mullins is currently embarking on a recording project in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the release of his album Soul’s Core, which came out July 17, 1998! He always performs songs from Soul’s Core in his live sets including “Lullaby” (Rockabye), “Gulf of Mexico,” “Twin Rocks Oregon,” “Shimmer” and “Anchored in You”. The song arrangements have evolved through the years as he continues to perform them live and grow as an artist.For the 20th anniversary, Shawn will revisit the music on Soul’s Core and record two new versions of the
album. He is calling this Soul’s Core Revival. This is not a remix or a remaster of the original, but rather brand new recordings with new arrangements of the songs – one album will be new stripped down solo performances, some on guitar, some on piano and maybe one a cappella and the second will be a new studio recording with his full band, Soul Carnival.
