ABOUT SAFETY HARBOR ART & MUSIC CENTER
Once upon a time, there lived two artists named Todd and Kiaralinda. They spent their lives turning their home into a work of art. They shared a magical dream of creating a place where creativity and community could blossom together.
With the help of their friend, Heather Richardson, a Pepsi Refresh Grant, a team of hardworking volunteers/artists/creatives, and unwavering community support, they were able to see their dream come to life.
Our building was designed by Grant Genova and Dan Carlson. The Safety Harbor Art and Music Center (SHAMc) opened its doors in 2015 and instantly became a unique and vibrant cultural haven for art and music lovers alike. Over 290 people volunteered to help create mirror mosaics that permanently adorn the exterior of the building. SHAMc is a place where children and the children-at-heart can gather to celebrate art.
SHAMc is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization; EIN: 45-1473112. All donations to SHAMc are tax deductible.

When a concert reaches capacity and sells out, a waitlist is enabled. If a spot opens, waitlisted individuals are notified in the order they joined. We call people on the phone directly to offer these spots. More than likely, if you are contacted, it will be on the day of the concert. It has also come to our attention that there is a resale market and that many of these are scams. If you're purchasing resale, do so at your own risk. We recommend that you register for the event as early as possible to avoid being waitlisted. You can learn about our upcoming concerts from our weekly email - Sign up below!
Todd Ramquist is in charge of booking music events, and he works directly with booking agent and managers. We are a small mom-and-pop venue, but we try to bring top tier musicians and artists to our space, most of them award-winning and with a strong following. If you meet this criteria, please have your booking agent reach out to Todd directly. If you're a local musician looking to get your foot in the door, we recommend coming to our Open Mic Nights.

When a class reaches capacity, a waitlist is enabled. If a spot opens, waitlisted individuals are notified in the order they joined. You have 24 hours to register before the next person is contacted.
