"The unspoken prayers in the hearts
of all the waiting children are powering this
movement ... a spirit of hope that is alive
and making its presence known to help
them, to speak for them, to create a miracle
of change. It's amazing to see something
greater than ourselves at work."

What is Heart Gallery Philadelphia? (Back to Top)
Every child deserves a family. In Philadelphia, there are hundreds of foster children who are longing for just that. Heart Gallery Philadelphia is collaborating with the Philadelphia Department of Human Services to bring these children closer to that dream. To achieve that goal, Professional Photographers have volunteered their time and skill to create beautiful, compelling portraits of foster children in Philadelphia, which become a traveling exhibit. The goal is to raise adoption awareness, but more importantly to give voice to the many foster children in our community looking for their “forever family”. Ultimately, our hope is that through these portraits prospective parents will be moved to adopt. These children are considered harder to adopt, ranging in age from 5 to 17, minorities and/or in sibling groups. They are deserving of our attention, our compassion, our help, and our respect.
We are excited - The first Heart Gallery Philadelphia Exhibit opened on November 12, 2005 and we have just celebrated our THIRD opening at Enon Baptist Church in November of 2007 - Our annual openings coincide with National Adoption Month. As always, we are looking for venues ... If you know of a venue, or have a gallery or space and would like to host please contact us. Look for the exhibit in the Please Touch Museum in Philly in February!!

Two Children from Heart Gallery Philadelphia were selected for inclusion in the first ever 2006 National Heart Gallery, an exhibit in Washington DC, highlighting the work done by child advocates committed to Heart Gallery children around the country. For more information on the National Heart Gallery, click here.

If you would like to volunteer your help, click here. We need help in fundraising, setting up and moving the exhibit, finding venues and exhibit space, catering and more. If you are an interested professional photographer, please email the Photographer coordinator.
