Gigio’s Pizzeria

NPB Art Studio Studio News chalk paint, evanston chalk art, gigio's pizza, pizza menu

The oldest pizza restaurant in Evanston, Gigio’s Pizzeria, hired Nancy Pochis Bank Art Studio to hand letter and illustrate their 16 foot menu board. Studio artists worked with chalk paint markers and tempera paint, making the final product more durable than traditional chalk. Stop by 1001 Davis Street and let our oversized illustrations help you decide on one of their delicious pizzas, burgers, tacos, or sandwiches! Thanks to studio artists Brittney Williams, Shayne Taylor, Natalie Michals, and Brandin Hurley.

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.
