‘Ghost Coast’ is Tofino-based artist Pete Clarkson’s contribution to the Salvaged Art Project, a multi-artist collaborative effort to raise awareness about marine plastic pollution through art crafted from debris collected on local shorelines. The artworks are currently on display at 8 supporting businesses and organizations throughout Tofino and Ucluelet, including our very own Carving Shed, before they are auctioned off at the Tofino Oyster Fest in November. On your next visit to the Inn, take a stroll down to the Carving Shed to see this one-of-a-kind art and learn how you can make a difference.
