That Adopted Girl launches National Adoption Month awareness campaign in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, NV – That Adopted Girl launches it’s 2015 National Adoption Month awareness campaign -Forgotten Futures- at 6:00pm on Saturday, November 14th, at the EDEN Gallery in Downtown Las Vegas.

Forgotten Futures is an art collection illustrating issues with the foster care system and adoption. Local Las Vegas artists, including current and former foster youth have created art pieces depicting issues within, and experiences of, the foster care system. The gallery showing is aimed at raising social awareness about the lives and experiences of the over 400,000 children in foster care in the United States.

“It is important to not sugar coat things. When we look at things for what they are, we can move toward change, or at least social awareness. The art in the Forgotten Futures awareness campaign illustrates adoption and foster care issues in an upfront and easily digestible way. Our goal is to get people to pay attention. The kids in the foster care system need us all to pay attention.” – Juliana Whitney, Founder & President of That Adopted Girl Inc.

That Adopted Girl is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded by Juliana Whitney, an adopted girl, in 2014 to improve the lives of America’s foster and adopted children and to raise awareness about foster care and adoption in the United States.

EDEN [Art Studio & Gallery] is Las Vegas’ venue for compelling contemporary art. The gallery is committed to presenting intelligent and culturally relevant exhibitions featuring work from some of today’s most dynamic artists with growing local and international reputations.
