Nancy Pochis Bank Art Studio was hired by Zagat to create 7 chalkboards for this year’s 30 under 30 Chicago. The event, hosted this year at bellyQ, honors 30 Chicago foodservice folks who are under 30 years old and really cool! Congrats to our friends at Begyle Brewing who were among the honorees. Thanks to studio artist Poppy Golland for her hand lettering help, and thanks also to carpenter Marne Provost for making the custom chalk boards and easels.

PM30Under30-Chicago-009 — This 40″ x 40″ chalkboard shows the diversity of folks being honored from coffee roasters, to sausage makers, to pastry chefs, to cheese makers.

Check out Zagat’s photos from the evening here.

Chicago Public Artwork Goes International

In the summer of 2007, “Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” was launched in Chicago. Nancy Pochis Bank was among an international group of artists selected by the jury to design and create a globe to be displayed in the lakefront exhibit.

Since the start of the "Cool Globes" project, Nancy has created four 5’ globes that have been exhibited across the United States and internationally.

“Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” is a non-profit organization established to raise awareness of climate change and inspire individuals and community leaders to embrace solutions. The public art exhibit features larger-than-life globes, each designed to depict a solution to global warming.
