said. “I’ve had the opportunity
to work with different types
of artists and developed this
extended interest and passion
that I never would have had.
“With the two current glass
shows, glass became one of my
favorite artistic materials to
observe because it’s so interest-
ing what can be done within
the medium. For our viewers
who also are fans of glass
designs, we brought in some
smaller pieces to be available
in our gift shop area — flow-
ers, paperweights and bowls.
”
A MORE MODERN SPACE
As part of a modernization
of the gallery space, the
shop area was moved to the
second floor and can be
accessed by stairs and eleva-
tor. The space change opens
visual possibilities at the first
floor entrance.
“
As gallery coordinator, I
was doing much of the same
things I do now, but I have
gained more of a say in what
happens to the gallery as a
whole,
” explained Balazovich,
a home gardener who espe-
cially enjoyed curating a Tu
BiShvat exhibit.
“I did research to find out
about this holiday that cele-
brates the beginning of spring
in Israel and is marked with
the planting of trees. The nic-
est thing was that we could tie
in the elements of the holiday
with lectures and crafts proj-
ects that involved the com-
munity. I think those kinds of
things bring the JCC to more
people in the area.
”
The upcoming fall exhibit
will feature original artwork by
members of the Jewish Artists
Collective Chicago.
“The true mission of this
gallery is to help people
developing artwork — where
to take it, how to show it,
who to go to for help,
” said
Balazovich, married to a 3-D
designer. “The mission is a
true passion of mine, and I’m
trying to help this gallery ful-
fill the mission statement.
“Helping emerging artists
while providing an art forum
for all people is so important
to our gallery, and we want to
provide as many services as
we can. I hope we get lots of
artists interested in showing
their work in our ‘Flight’
exhibit.”
