Very Funny Pavement Art

NPB Studio and Tracee Badway created this “very funny” chalk artwork yesterday on Michigan Avenue, outside the Tribune tower. Tracee is waving and Nancy is wearing the hat. The team chalked from 9:30 am (when the rain ended) until 5:00 pm. It was a long day but the crowds were supportive and excited. And, we were quite proud of the finished product. It has faded significantly due to last night’s storm, however. Oh well, the best art is ephemeral.

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.
