Cool Globes in Chicago

The City of Chicago will host "CoolGlobes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet" from June-September 2007. Cool Globes is an innovative project that uses the medium of public art to inspire individuals and organizations to take action against global warming. Over 120 extraordinary globes, designed by local, national and international artists, will be displayed along the lakefront using a variety of materials to create awareness and provoke discussion about potential solutions to global warming.

Visit CoolGlobes.org to view each globe in the exhibit online and learn about the artists and their solution to stop global warming.


You can also pledge to make at least five changes in your own life and be entered in a raffle to win a Toyota Prius.

Based on your interest in the Cool Globes art project, I thought you might also be interested in the live auction set to take place tomorrow, October 5.

The Cool Globes exhibit will be auctioned to raise funds for the Chicago Conservation Corp Clubs, which provide environmental education opportunities for Chicago's youth.

Attendees include Al Franken, politician and comedian; Wendy Abrams, founder; Bears QB Kyle Orton; Sadhu Johnston, chief environmental officer; and Mayor Richard M. Daley, etc.

Media availility opens at 5:30, the silent auction begins at 6:00 and is followed by the 7:30 auction program at the Auditorium Theater, 50 E. Congress Parkway in Chicago.

It just seemed like something you'd be interested in attending or blogging about. Thanks for your time!
