PandaMania, organized by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities, captured the hearts and minds of Washingtonians and visitors with 150 dazzling artist-created giant panda sculptures. During the spring and summer of 2004, the Commission installed the amazing collection of colorful thought-provoking creatures on sidewalks, in parks, malls and office buildings throughout downtown Washington and District neighborhoods. The unexpected pandas in everyday places transformed the city into a haven of fun, whimsy and spontaneous conversations among friends and strangers. This book captures the artistry and spirit of PandaMania, Washington, D.C. A percentage of PandaMania book sales provide funds for arts grants and arts education programs.
