Special to the Jewish News
p
eas, crackers, corn, jelly, cereal,
pasta, tomatoes and olives not
only make for delicious food,
they can make memorable art, as well.
The Jewish Community Center of
Metropolitan Detroit's Janice Charach
Gallery will open "Kindness Can Make
a Difference," a one-of-a-kind exhibit
that is both art and an opportunity to
help Metro Detroit families in need,
at noon Sunday, May 20. Running
through July 20, the exhibit will con-
sist of sculptures made of perishable
food items, to be donated to Yad Ezra
and Forgotten Harvest at the end of
the show, which is free and open to the
community.
"We wanted to create an exhibit that
will both be creative, artistic and ben-
eficial to the many families in our area
who need help',' said Gallery Director
Terri Stearn. "We also hope this will
inspire others to do acts of kindness of
any kind."
Six teams of artists, engineers and
set builders from the Berman Center
for the Performing Arts created the
sculptures. They were an easygoing
group who not only faced the chal-
lenge of unconventional material and
art they know will be completely dis-
mantled as soon as the exhibit is over,
they had to endure a brief delay after
the original cans and packages of food
mysteriously disappeared from behind
the JCC.
Steam believes someone who was
hungry took the food so she's relaxed
about it. The whole point of the
exhibit, she explains, is to help those
in need. All was saved after Stearn
and Gallery Assistant Director Tina
Abohasira made a quick run to a local
store to stock up on replacement "art"
supplies.
Stearn says she was inspired
to create the exhibit after the JCC
and Partners in Torah initiated the
Kindness Project, headed by Rabbi
Tzvi Muller. The project encourages
participants to act thoughtfully and
respectfully in their day-to-day lives
and understand the importance that
Judaism places on good behavior.
The gallery also is seeking artists for
another project that encourages par-
ticipants to do the "write" thing.
"The 100 Journal Project" is open to
everyone — in the world.
The gallery provides a blank jour-
nal, at no cost. The first person to
receive the journal chooses the theme
and the rules (or lack of rules), which
must be followed by everyone who
participates. (Each journal has its own
first artist and, hence, its own rules.)
The first artist also may design the
cover and, if he/she chooses, the first
page. This person must make certain
the journal continues to the second
artist, who completes one or two pages
before sending the journal to the next
artist. This process continues until 10
men and women have helped create
the book. Artists may send the journal
to friends as far away as in foreign
countries — or pass them on to fam-
ily members and neighbors who live
close by.
As with the "Kindness Can Make
a Difference" exhibit, this endeavor
highlights the Kindness Project
because a number of the journals will
carry the theme of showing compas-
sion to others.
All journals must be returned to the
gallery by Oct. 15 for an exhibit next
November. The journals will be sold,
with proceeds benefiting the gallery
and a charity chosen by the last artist
who returns a journal.

cialist at the Jewish Community Center of
Metropolitan Detroit.
"Kindness Can Make a Difference" runs May 20-July 20 at the
Janice Charach Gallery inside the Jewish Community Center in West
Bloomfield. Gallery hours: noon-4 p.m. Sunday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Monday-Thursday. (248) 432-5448; www.jccdet.org .
