Garfield turned 25 in 2003 and Muncie, IN, threw him a big birthday celebration. Twenty Five not-for-profit organizations joined together to commemorate his birthday. Jim Davis and Paws' Artists worked with Jim Kishel to create the Garfield Sculpture Project - which created 25 unique Garfield statues/sculptures. Each organization found a sponsor to purchase the sculpture and commissioned a local artist to decorate it in a unique and ingenious way reflecting the personality and theme chosen by the not-for-profit group. Each statue is signed by the local artist and Jim Davis, creator of Garfield.
