Elaine and Sherwood Sharfe
Elaine and Sherwood Sharfe are well known for their leadership and involvement in Saskatoon’s arts and business community. Sherwood Chevrolet has been a thriving enterprise for nearly 50 years. That success has enabled the Sharfes to support a number of community endeavours, including, most recently, a $100,000 donation to Remai Modern.
Their generous gift will be acknowledged by a named space, the staircase linking the museum’s second and third floors.
“We’ve always believed that the quality of life in any city is enhanced by a dynamic blend of culture that includes the visual and performing arts,” says Elaine Sharfe. “Saskatoon is a leading example of how well that can work. We are pleased to help the city continue to fulfill its potential.
“We’ve often told our friends in Eastern Canada that Saskatoon is the centre of the universe. The addition of Remai Modern confirms that belief.”
