Heart of Kids is the youth branch of Heart of Chaos and was founded by 9-year-old emerging artist Anthony Mingus in January 2008. We encourage young emerging artists to express themselves by partnering with Bay Area school teachers to put on yearly art exhibits featuring the art of their students.

Debut of Heart of Kids
Heart of Kids artists were featured at the 2nd Annual Chalk Art Festival put on by Heart of Chaos in the Summer of 2008. The first official Heart of Kids exhibit was held later the same year exhibiting works by 50 young artists. If you are a teacher and are interested in partnering with Heart of Kids please email Jen Sluga.

Art Classes
Heart of Kids will provide art classes in the future. In the meantime youth art classes are available through our partner, Art House Kids. Art created at Art House Kids will be showcased in Heart of Kids exhibits, be sure to check out their entries at the reception on August 5, 2008.

Anthony Mingus and Steven Talamantes create at the First Annual Chalk Art Festival.

Currently Seeking Funding for Youth Training Center
Plans are underway for an artist run gallery and training center to provide art classes and workshops for the community. We intend to provide a safe environment where youth can come together and create. Get more information about how you can help.
