official Altadena postcard Mural

Greetings from Altadena, CA! Thank you so much for all the community support in making this project possible. We were able to reach our Kickstarter goal to cover our supply & equipment costs for the official Greetings from Altadena postcard mural. This interactive public art piece is going to be a part of the nationwide Greetings Tour series.

What’s the Greetings Tour? We are a local artist couple who have been traveling the country since 2015 by RV to create timeless landmarks through public art. Our mission is to support local small businesses through tourism traffic. You can check out some examples on our wall of fame page to see how we have been able to make this happen.

After painting over 55+ murals across 25+ states, we are very excited to create an official postcard in our own hometown! In order to create a true piece of public art, we worked very closely with the community to come up with imagery that best represents Altadena.

Altadena Imagery VotING RESULTS

We setup booths to take votes (150+) in person during the local Sip & Shop event at Mariposa Junction as well as the Holiday Event at the Farmer’s Market. It was so great to connect with our community, meet our neighbors and learn about all the things people love about Altadena. As a safer alternative, we also setup an online voting system where we collected another 110+ votes. Finally, we even did a Reddit poll to gather 160+ more votes. Thank you to everyone who participated in this process with over 420+ votes to help us narrow down the top images that represent Altadena! While we would love to include everything, we would also love to leave some of these other themes to be represented in future murals by other artists. You can see some of the clear winners below:

We believe in supporting our community with our talents and the connections we are able to make with other locals are valuable enough in our world!

In addition, we would be more than happy to take photo reference submissions as well as any other kind of support you can offer.
