The goal is simple: Take professional, heart-reaching portraits of our state's most vulnerable children in foster care and promote finding forever homes for them. Arizona Heart Gallery is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to the children of Arizona awaiting adoption. Could you be one of the forever families they are waiting for?

All children deserve to be cherished and raised in a safe and loving family. Unfortunately, many parents are unable to provide a safe environment for their child. If relatives aren’t able to care for the child, he/she is placed in a foster home. Foster parents then become a temporary family for the child until things can be resolved with their parent(s) and safety is restored in the home.

The Heart Gallery concept started in New Mexico in 2001 and now includes at least 43 states, with some states experiencing a 50% increase in adoptions of foster children.

In the words of one Arizona case worker, "People truly can make that first connection with a child through a photograph, and that draws them into inquiring."

Where's the Gallery Now?

The gallery is currently on display through the end of June at Thoroughbred Nissan, located at 5163 E 22nd St (between Swan & Craycroft) Tucson, AZ 85711. Thoroughbred will be home to a permanent photo gallery year round, while the permanent gallery will continue to travel around the state. Continue to check the website for further updates.
