Our mission statement - "To promote knowledge of and education in the fine arts, the visual arts, and the performing arts". We don't just do this in Safety Harbor or the Tampa Bay Area----we do it all over the World!
SHAMc partnered with Can'd Aid and their Tunes Ambassadors The Steep Canyon Rangers for a day of #SHAMcARTreach Ukes to Youth. 37 community children received brand new ukuleles thanks to our donors and sponsors. Steep Canyon Rangers gave a great shout out from their sold out show at the Capitol Theatre about this event.

#SHAMcARTreach School Srojects--Jan-May 2019
5 schools-3185 kids
We created 5 large scale mosaic murals that are permanent public art installations at 5 Pinellas County schools most of the funding for these projects is supported by the referendum money which is designed to support special projects for art music and literature, among other things.
Thanks to all the people that voted for the referendum.
A note from Heather Richardson who spearheads these #SHAMcARTreach Projects------
Thank you to my Art Teachers for their support in creating the tiles and special pieces for our murals, and of course the kids for all their hard work. Thanks to my volunteers Jackie M.-Bev D.-Sharon-Pam B. and
my install team Ed D-Todd R-and Beth W- Clay V and Woody

Thanks to our Referendum money that our voters support in Pinellas County, I was able to apply for a special project through our art department. Heather Richardson worked with our school to create this mosaic mural. Every student in the school participated in the process!

HEATHER RICHARDSON MOSAIC ARTIST EXTRAORDINAIRE TEACHES CHILDREN AT BAY AREA SCHOOLS
For #SHAMcARTreach Heather worked with the children at Curtis Fundamental for 2 weeks in January, 2019
Art teacher Linda Hilterbrandt and all the children at the school created tiles for this project from the beginning of the school year to be ready for this project. The classroom was set up in 4 stations and children rotated during each class so that Heather could help 4 kids at a time to help them learn how to break and nip tiles and how to arrange the mosaic. The kids love to break and nip!
Finished size of this mural is 9 ft tall and 10 ft wide with 3 other sections that are on columns below this piece.

The process....Mike our host wanted his 12 container cabinas painted with imagery of the indigenous and medicinal plants that grow on his finch(farm)yoga retreat. It was a true collaboration of 12 artists that had not all met before to please the client and we succeeded!! There was a lot of prep work, finding supplies, problem solving and priming to be done to create these masterpieces desired. Twelve murals and a completed mosaic on the kitchen sink were what we accomplished in 7 days.

Our first #SHAMcARTreach Project
Grapefruit Art Gift to Safety Harbor
Todd and Kiaralinda rallied a group of artist friends to mosaic a few and paint a lot of buildings with the Safety Harbor 'fruit' the grapefruit. It was in honor of the soon to be Grapefruit festival that was going to be happening in a few weeks. Our public #ARTreach was a gift to our city in honor of the festival. A few are still in existence today but sadly most have been painted over.
