Endangered Animal Sculptures in Woodley and Cleveland Park, Washington D.C.
An expansion of Alphabet Animals 2024, this project added 10 new sculptures along the Connecticut Ave. NW corridor between Woodley Park and Cleveland Park in Washington D.C. Tamao Nakayama contributed to this initiative by creating a sculpture of the Eastern Fox Squirrel, highlighting the importance of preserving endangered species. The project combines an educational component with aesthetic excellence, as well as celebrating our local artists. By adding ten more sculptures, we hope to continue to create more vibrant communities through the arts in Washington, DC. Through the CHAW-Cleveland Park Main Street-Woodley Park Main Street Partnership, this expansion of the project will provide artistic touchpoints for local businesses as well as residents, further strengthening the connection of creativity with a flourishing neighborhood. The Alphabet Animals encourage residents, business owners, artists, makers, and passersby to explore the inter-connectivity of community through the entry point of unexpected encounters with high-quality art in public spaces–and this new expansion to Endangered Animals adds an important new focus on protecting the wild and wonderful world around us.
