Theatre Of Hearts/Youth First COOL ART Lend/Lease Program
Our COOL ART Lend/Lease Program features high-quality artworks created in Theatre Of Hearts/Youth First Artist-In-Residence workshops by youth in Los Angeles County schools, community centers, juvenile halls, and probation camps: over 86,000 talented youngsters, aged 4-18, from underserved communities over the last 24 years.
Theatre Of Hearts/Youth First is now offering YOU the opportunity to brighten up your office, organization, home or set with some fantastic framed art — all for the price of a suggested 100% tax-deductible donation.

Our COOL ART Lend/Lease Program is perfect for QUICKLY…
- BRIGHTENING a drab office environment
- STAGING your real estate location for a quick sale
- DRESSING your film set or special event with warm, colorful, imaginative artwork
Theatre Of Hearts/Youth First has used arts education workshops led by professional artists to act as a catalyst for change in the lives of L.A. County youth. For many, it is the first chance to experience the transforming power of art and to create something of worth. The dramatic results can be seen in our vast collection, which we now offer to you.
With the COOL ART Lending Program, as a thank-you for your tax deductible donation, you can create your own mini-gallery. Choose from hundreds of professionally mounted oil and acrylic paintings, ceramic sculptures, mixed media, and drawings to create an eye-catching impression that best complements your business.
We can offer creative direction on pieces that best suit the atmosphere and décor of your lobby, corridor, conference room, or office space. We will provide free installation.


Larry Kosmont, Managing Partner of Kosmont Companies and Renaissance Community Fund, talked about his company’s participation in the COOL ART Lend/Lease Program:
“There were so many pieces to choose from. This is a huge reservoir of artwork that needs exposure. Corporate offices around Los Angeles spend a lot of money on artwork, but this is an untapped source of spectacular pieces and there is a story behind each and every project. It’s powerful coming into an office like ours and seeing life through a child’s eyes.”
The images above are just a small selection from our extensive collection, some of which can be seen in our COOL ART Store. You can also browse through additional images from our collection at our office located in the historic Granada Building at 657 S. La Fayette Park Place, Los Angeles, CA 90057.
