Photos are only on one side of the display which provides flexibility in configuring the exhibit against walls as well as back to back and diamond shapes. Audio boxes for the sound sticks are on the back of the panel.

There are also 2 didactic panels (describing the exhibit and recognizing the sponsors). Inquiry cards can be left in the acrylic box adjacent to the panels.

As children are matched or adopted, ribbons are placed on their photos indicating their status. Photos are presented to the families at finalization and families are offered the opportunity to be photographed as a family.

The exhibit needs to be placed in an area of adequate lighting with access to electricity. It can be assembled in a variety of configurations depending on the venue. The Heart Gallery curator will map out the exhibit for each venue's approval. The gallery can be broken up into smaller groupings and exhibited in different areas of the same venue or split between 2 venues. The exhibit run is generally 4-6 weeks at each venue.

Two Heart Gallery exhibits provide the flexibility needed for all potential venues!  A smaller venue with a short term event is perfect for the mobile exhibit!  For a larger venue and an extended show, the main exhibit would work best!


The Mobile Heart Gallery Exhibit

The mobile Heart Gallery exhibit contains 32 photos and a didactic panel. A 42" monitor runs informational videos. An attached drop box accommodates leave behind inquiry cards.

This exhibit is perfect for single day or multi-day events. It can be fully viewed (front and back) in a 12' by 12' space. It can also back up to a wall for front only viewing.

As children are matched or adopted, ribbons are placed on their photos indicating their status. Photos are presented to the families at finalization and families are offered the opportunity to be photographed as a family.

Electricity is required for lights and monitor, however, lighting is not a concern as each section has individual lights.
