The Rhode Island Heart Gallery
We are pleased to present our new 19th Annual Heart Gallery. The Rhode Island Heart Gallery is a traveling exhibit of professional portraits of children currently in state care waiting and hoping for forever families or other loving permanent connection. This year out Heart Gallery will be an evolving gallery, meaning will add youth throughout the year, versus having to wait until November to add additional children. The children featured in this Heart Gallery are only a small number of the children in foster care in Rhode Island who are in need of permanent families.
Since 2005, the Heart Gallery has helped to raise awareness of the need for loving families for the hundreds of children in state care. Adoption Rhode Island is pleased to sponsor this powerful exhibit. It is our hope that as it travels throughout the state, the smiling faces of these children will touch the hearts of people who can help.
You can browse through the Heart Gallery book below. And, please visit Cardi’s Furniture in West Warwick throughout the month of January!
Thank you to the Verrecchia family for donating the easels for the gallery display, in Memory of Edward and Agnes Macari. It is our collective hope that these beautiful portraits will touch the heart of someone who will be the difference in a child’s future!
