About Cool Globes
“Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” is public art with a purpose. Launched in Chicago in June 2007, the original Cool Globes exhibit featured 130 globes, each depicting a solution to global warming. The exhibit received an enormous response from the public and media. In 2008, Cool Globes traveled to and was on display in Washington D.C. at the U.S. Botanic Garden and Kennedy Center and in San Francisco at Crissy Field. The San Diego exhibit is made possible through the generous support of Toyota.

Cool Globes was founded by mother of four and environmentalist Wendy Abrams who wanted to raise awareness of simple solutions to global warming that all individuals can implement.

The Burnsville Band will get us rocking and dancing at 2:00 with their blistering guitars, soulful vocals, tight-pocket rhythms, smoking keyboards, and horns.

After our community was devastated by the Harris Fire, JAM decided to rise from the ashes and promote Jamul as a developing cultural center for the arts beginning with this Festival made possible by a Community Enhancement Grant from San Diego County. This Festival is one-year after the Harris Fire destroyed 285 homes in Jamul. To help continue the healing process, a Harris Fire Collage will be created. Anyone affected by the Harris Fire is invited to bring photos, poems, stories, and items that they can add to the collage.
