Cool Globes Boston: Work in Progress

NPB Art Studio Studio News Boston, Boston Commons, cool globes, public art, work in progress

Nancy Pochis Bank Art Studio is painting two giant globes for the “Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” Exhibit opening in Boston on August 15. (You may recall our earlier work for Cool Globes, in 2007.) We’re on a tight timeline in order to finish the globes by early August, so everyone in the studio is helping with these. Special thanks to Margie Wolf, Grace Brandt, Marissa Weiss, and Tracee Badway. We’ll keep the themes of the globes a secret for now, but you can bet that they combine the themes and styles we do best in a whole new way. Watch this space for the unveiling of our finished globes in early August.

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.
