Homewood Art and Garden Fair

NPB Art Studio Studio News Homewood Art and Garden Fair, pavement mural, Seaurat

Nancy and a team of studio artists traveled to Homewood last Saturday for the city’s 8th annual Art and Garden Fair. The City of Homewood hired Nancy to be the fair’s featured chalk artist and to advise fair attendees and other community artists who are trying out chalk art for the first time. Nancy and her team recreated Georges Seaurat’s famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, which hangs in the Chicago Art Institute. Check out this article on the Chicago Tribune’s website to read more about the event and see a photo of Nancy at work on the mural. Thanks to Studio Artists Brittney Williams, Grace Brandt, and partner artist Tracee Badway for their help on this project.

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.
