A photo exhibit entitled "The Art of Adoption," featuring portraits of local children waiting for adoptive families, will be on display at the Pensacola Cultural Center from Nov. 15-17. Free and open to the public, the exhibit also will be included as part of downtown Pensacola's Gallery Night Nov. 17.
Heart Galleries increase awareness about adoption and foster care and attract families seeking to adopt children. The Heart Gallery supports the mission of FamiliesFirst Network of Lakeview Center, a nonprofit organization that administers services for thousands of children who are abused, neglected, abandoned and available for adoption across four counties of Northwest Florida.
Local photographers Kay Brown, Catherine Gallagher, Mark Francis, Virginia Vannerman, John Bilbrey, Cathy Catanese and Warren Thompson donated their services to capture the spirit of 20 children in Northwest Florida who are hoping to be adopted.
