Artful Bears 

A Black Bear Film Festival tradition, the Artful Bear display brings artists of all kind together in a bright and colorful community display. So much care, creativity and work go into them! Each Artful Bear is lovingly crafted from a foam hunting target into a piece of original artwork to be enjoyed around town for the weeks leading up to the festival. The Artful Bears are a cherished part of the Black Bear Film Festival’s legacy.

Artful Bears are created by all levels of ability and skill sets. Professional artists down to art-lovers and novices have all created bears.

We’re so thankful to all the amazing artists who support Black Bear Film Festival by creating an Artful Bear!
