Carolina Colours Bear Prior to Artist's Painting

Mary Ellen Dorsey and Artist Molly Knazek Welcome the Carolina Colours Bear to New Bern

The Carolina Colours Bear has arrived and the artist, Molly Knazek, is painting in the 223 Middle Street Bear Town Bears Studio.  In preparation for New Bern’s 300th Anniversary in 2010, whimsical bears will be displayed throughout the New Bern community.  Bear Tracks will guide visitors through an art experience of these publicly displayed sculptures.  The Carolina Colours Bear will find its new home in front of the Carolina Colours Social Pavilion.

The Bear’s Artist plans to attend the Third Annual Carolina Colours Property Owner Appreciation Day on Saturday, November 14th.  Please plan to join the Bear’s artist and many Carolina Colours property owners for this very special event.

Bear Town Bears is a volunteer, non-profit organization placing fiberglass bears painted by local artists in public and business locations in New Bern and the surrounding area for the enjoyment of the public.
