Cielo Vista Mall - North 2nd Floor Entrance

The Heart Gallery of El Paso (HGEP) invites you to a ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of its newest gallery installation at Cielo Vista Mall. This marks the first time a Heart Gallery has been hosted by Simon Property Group in El Paso, a meaningful milestone in expanding community outreach and raising awareness for children in foster care awaiting adoption.

The installation features striking professional portraits of youth who often wait the longest for adoption, including older children, sibling groups, and children with higher medical needs. By bringing these stories into a space where thousands of families gather, HGEP hopes to inspire connection and encourage more families to consider foster care and adoption.

“Together with Simon Properties and our regional partners, we’re bringing visibility, hope, and connection to youth who deserve a safe, loving, and permanent home,” said Vanessa Gurrola Leon, Executive Director of the Heart Gallery of El Paso.

We welcome the community to join us for this special event and to learn more about the children who are waiting for their forever families.
