Over the past decade the Heart Gallery developed larger touring and interactive galleries, expanding to hundreds of cities across the country as they all work toward the shared mission of a forever family for every waiting child.“’Scene: Studio 54 Reinvented’ was a great first-time success thanks to a community of sponsors and supporters,” Christine Frederick says, CEO of the Flite Center. Appropriately named “The Heart Gallery,” this innovative model changes lives every day by giving a voice to America’s forgotten children. Poignant portraits of older children and sibling groups were displayed for public viewing. But, in 2001, a photographer and an adoption worker created a unique concept to introduce these waiting children to their communities with the hope of finding loving, adoptive families. Thousands of children languished in the foster care system, only to reach the age of 18 and find themselves on their own. In the U.S., foster children have traditionally been hidden from view.

This tool has demonstrated unprecedented success for children who have languished in care, historically hidden from the public eye. About 80-90 children are featured in Tampa’s Heart Gallery each year. Heart Gallery children represent those in foster care who need additional support in finding families due to factors of age, race, those part of large sibling groups, and children with special needs. We provide a platform to inspire our community to improve their quality of life and connect them with Forever Families. INQUIRE ON SPONSORSHIPS, GROUP RATES, AND SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS: photographic exhibits, the Heart Gallery of Tampa introduces our community to foster children awaiting adoptive families. You know and love it, and we look forward to having you be a part of it.
