The Teddy Bear Artist Event of 2008, UK



Teddy Bear Artist Event


Aims:

•    To organise an annual event.

•    To promote bear artistry, offering new and established artists the opportunity to showcase and offer for sale their latest creations at an affordable, yet quality event.

•    To offer collectors the opportunity to see, admire and purchase the work of a wide variety of bear artists from the UK and abroad.

•    To provide a social, relaxed atmosphere in which artists and collectors can mingle.

•    To raise money for a selected charity each year.  This year the British Heart Foundation has been selected. (The charity may remain the same at future events, or a different charity may be selected).

•    The aim is for the event to be a non-profit making, self-funding event.

•    If for any reason the event ceases to be organised in future years, any funds remaining in the Teddy Bear Artist Event account will be donated to a selected charity.
