Bear River artists

The directory is divided into the following categories:

To discover more about the artists, visit the websites, galleries and retailers listed in the right-hand column. The galleries and retailers listed are either situated in Bear River or have the work of Bear River artists actually on display on their website. Some artists also exhibit elsewhere or have their work in permanent collections.

Many of the artists also have their own private exhibition space at their home or studio, and you can phone them to arrange an appointment to view. The full international phone numbers are preceded by +1 902. If you are unable to contact any of them, you may be able to get further information during the summer season from the 'Flight of Fancy' shop and art gallery in the centre of the village (tel. 467 4171).
