Department of Social Services spokeswoman Lori Kays said the gallery moves across the state and will be at the Berkshire Mall throughout the month of June.

The gallery is designed to draw attention to foster children who are in need of a permanent home. More than 600 children in Massachusetts are in need of loving parents.
Spearheaded by the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange, Inc., amateur and professional photographers donated their time and talent to create the gallery.
Local heart galleries have been established in more than 40 states as public awareness and family recruitment events.
