Pittsburgh Heart Gallery
The Heart Gallery was originated by Diane Granito, an Adoption Recruiter for the state of New Mexico, and opened for the first time in March, 2001. Used as a Child Specific and general recruiting tool, the gallery’s objective is to capture the essence of those children who prove to be more difficult to place. TRAC has enlisted the time and talent of many area photographers to help capture these children. This year TRAC thanks the Ron Richards Studio for their commitment to this project and to the children it serves. The Heart Gallery is a traveling exhibit that is able to be seen throughout the Pittsburgh Community.
