🐻🎨 Celebrating the incredible artists behind the Perthshire Bear Trail 🎨🐻
As summer comes to an end, so does an incredible chapter for Bears Big Adventure across Perth and Kinross.
On Thursday 17th September, 35 wonderful bears will be going up for auction at Scone Palace, giving people the opportunity to take home a truly unique piece of artwork while supporting vital youth work.

But before the bears find their new homes, we want to take a moment to celebrate the people who have been at the heart of making this trail so special — our incredible artists.
Each bear has its own story, personality and identity. What started as a blank canvas became something extraordinary through the creativity, skill and imagination of the artists who took on the challenge.
From bold and colourful designs to intricate details and completely original concepts, our artists have transformed these bears into pieces of public art that have brought smiles to faces throughout the summer.
Please go and check out the work of our incredible artists, follow them, share their work and support them wherever you can. 🎨❤️
