City Hearts: Kids Say Yes to the Arts

City Hearts is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing the highest quality arts education and experiences to children in the most economically stressed neighborhoods of southern California. Through arts education programs, City Hearts’ goal is to increase self-esteem, creativity, literacy, social and academic skills while strengthening the health and vitality of the children and their community. Inspiring a love of the arts, an appreciation of creative discipline, and respect for the creative process, City Hearts enables children and youth to be confident, imaginative, understanding, generous, and collaborative as well as caring and contributing participants in the global community.

City Hearts provides classes in Dance, Literary Arts, Music, Theater, and Visual Arts for students in under-resourced areas of Los Angeles County. Classes take place at our community and school partner sites with limited or no access to the arts.
