Gallery is a traveling, museum-quality exhibit featuring portraits of children in Miami-Dade’s foster care system who are available for adoption. These images capture the essence and
personality of the children and are displayed in public spaces. Currently 60 cities in 45 states have created successful Heart Galleries. New Jersey saw 800 inquiries about foster care
and adoption ITEM K-6) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Miami Heart Gallery
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 because of its Heart Gallery. In Connecticut, 19 of the 40 children in a Heart Gallery exhibition were adopted.
Nationally more than 500 difficult-to-place foster children have found homes since the first Heart Gallery began in 2001. The mission of the Children’s Trust Miami Heart Gallery is to
improve the lives of children and families in Miami-Dade County by making strategic investments in their future. There are approximately 500 children in Miami-Dade County’s foster care
systems which are waiting to be adopted. Building on this national model, The Children’s Trust, in collaboration with Our Kids, launched the Miami Heart Gallery in June 2008. This grassroots
effort builds on voluntary or pro-bono resources of the community; whether it is corporations, gallery owners, photographers or photo framers, this collaborative effort serves as a tool
for promoting adoption in Miami Dade County. Current Situation The Miami Heart Gallery expressed its desire to bring its exhibit to the City of Miami Gardens and feature it in the City’s
brand new Betty T. Ferguson Recreation Complex. The high volume of traffic being realized at the complex makes it an ideal location for this exhibit. The proposed exhibit will take place
for six (6) weeks, starting August 2 – September 16, 2011. The Miami Heart Gallery exhibition will consist of 20 portraits which are 24” x 36’. Portraits are typically mounted directly
on to the wall with mounting hardware (2 screws each). Portraits are usually placed side by side vertically and or horizontally one above another. Each portrait comes with bio card information
of each child. The bio cards are business card size, in its own business card holder, and attached to the wall with Velcro underneath the portrait. In the proposed exhibit at the Community
Center, it has been preliminarily determined that the portraits will be hung from the ceiling so as to migigate any perforations to the interiors walls. The exhibit coordinator coordinator
(Circle of One Marketing) will be responsible for ensuring that the installation is done as agreed, and that any necessary patching and painting of any of the center’s interior surfaces
will be done in order to return the exhibit space to the condition it was prior to the showing of The Children’s Trust Miami Heart Gallery. The City of Miami Gardens has an opportunity
to participate in this very important endeavor. There are More than 2,750 foster children eligible for adoption in Florida with at least 500 eligible in Miami-Dade. The Miami Heart Gallery
exhibitions have been the most successful, yielding parent matches for more than 50 percent of the children in just six months. It is for this reason that the City’s support of this
exhibit is sought. The placement of the portraits will be in the east corridor of the Community Center and will not interfere with the Center’s normal operations, including auditorium
and/or meeting room rentals. Proposed Action:
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 Councilman Gilbert recommends that City Council approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the
attached Exhibition Agreement authorizing the installation of the 20 portraits at no cost to the exhibitor. Attachment: Attachment A‐Miami Heart Gallery Exhibition Agreement
