About me:

Visit our website: www.HeartofChaos.net

Heart of Chaos, established in 2003, is a volunteer run artisan collective and primary program of Catalyst for Youth (http://www.catalystforyouth.org), a non profit, 501 (c) 3 public charity and educational organization. Our mission is to provide venues for under recognized, emerging artists and established artists, of all mediums, to showcase and sell their work, while encouraging conversations between the two. We have successfully put on over 40 exhibits, as well as the First and Second Annual San Jose Chalk Art Festivals. In addition we host monthly exhibits at South First Billiards, part of South First Fridays (see http://www.southfirstfridays.com/) and Gardner Community Center.

Heart of Chaos has also established a Community Outreach Task Force that partners with other groups to benefit the community at large. Currently we teach a weekly art class at San Jose's Juvenile Hall where we encourage the youth to express themselves through different forms of art.

If you would like to join or participate in our artisan collective simply visit http://www.heartofchaos.net to sign up for our mailing list and receive announcements about upcoming exhibits and calls for artists. If you would like to volunteers as a teacher in our Juvenile Hall art program, please contact Joanne Hobbs at joanne@heartofchaos.net.
