What are the United Buddy Bears?
The
United Buddy Bears are many things. They are fiberglass bears over six feet tall
which are painted by artists from nations all over the world. They are canvases
to showcase the creativity, national pride, and spirit of people from over 120
countries. And they are the symbol of global peace, tolerance, and friendship.
The United Buddy Bears carry an important message.
"United Buddy Bears" in Berlin show,
Germany
2002

For over 720 years the bear has been the heraldic symbol of Berlin. In June
2001, some 430 colorful, life-sized bear status were placed in streets and
squares throughout the. German capital. The bears are hand-painted by artists
and sculpted out of weatherproof plastic.
Due to popular demand, the Buddy Bear Berlin show will continue until the end
of 2002. In fact, the Buddy Bears will be joined by their offspring, the Mini
Buddy Bears.
Through November 2002, in the vicinity of the Brandenburg Gate, 150 Buddy
Bears will be set up in a circle reaching out to one another, each representing
a country having an embassy in the city.
A map with the locations of the bears can be obtained for [euro]1.79 at any
Berlin Tourist Information Center. For more info, contact Buddy Bear Berlin
GmbH, Friedrichstrasse 200, 10117 Berlin, Germany;
phone ++49 (0) 30/22 33 32 07 or visit www.buddybaer.com.

125 Buddy Bears stand in a circle, symbolically taking each
other by the hand to form a circle of solidarity. About 140 artists have
designed and painted these Bears. one of them is Jonathan Petch who painted the
Buddy Bear for the British Embassy.
