When Tehachapi Treasure Trove opened in 2012, letters were passed out to artists to paint for the sign in front of the building. The result was a fun and whimsical sign reflecting the styles of 22 different artists. For four years the sign has been photographed and remembered by people from all over the world. For the last couple of months the ravens have discovered the sign and have been pecking away at the letters.
Since the need has arisen to recreate the sign, The Treasure Trove has purchased a new set of wooden letters. On First Friday, guests are invited to paint a letter for the new sign. Letters, paint and bushes will be provided. Come join the fun, be creative and paint a letter. There are 22 letters to be painted. You will be able to see your art work every time you drive down Tehachapi Boulevard. Photos of your art will travel around the world.
