“Phanatic Around Town” Summer Promotion — Philadelphia — visitphilly.com

Phanatic Around Town Project

The Phillies and Visit Philly have teamed up to launch the “Phanatic Around Town” public art project, a tourism and fan initiative featuring 20 custom-designed Phillie Phanatic statues each placed at one of 20 visitor-friendly locations across the city.

This is the first time a Major League Baseball™ mascot is part of a public art project.

The 20 “Phanatic Around Town” statues, all of which were painted by local artists, will be on display at their respective locations through August 2010. Made of fiberglass, each statue weighs 100 pounds and stands five feet tall.
