The Traveling Heart Gallery

The traveling Heart Gallery will be on display in the main lobby of Miners’ Colfax Medical Center March 15, 2012.  The display, a traveling photographic exhibit was created by founder Diane Granito/Statewide Special Events Coordinator, New Mexico Children, Youth & Families Department who thought of an untraditional way of piquing interest in a community for the children who need foster care, and permanent adoption. 

 With the help of professional photographers, Granito provided a way to encourage adoption of older children with inspiring portraits of those children.  Now in its eighth year, the Heart Gallery of America has over 120 Heart Galleries across the United States that are designed and presented with the hopes of increasing the number of older children who are adopted.

                The public is invited to attend the Heart Gallery reception to learn more about children who are available for adoption, and the procedure for adoption.  There is an urgent need for caring foster care.
