Many thanks to the teachers who put in so much effort to help bring this contest to Tehachapi each year.

Art is much neglected in our schools and many of the teachers use there own money to be sure children have the benefit of art education which brings so much joy into all of out lives.

TVAA donates money annually to Tehachapi classrooms to ensure art has a place in our youths lives.
