Cornwall Bears Community Art Project

THE CORNWALL BEARS: A Cornwall Community Art Project

Summer 2022

This summer, 33 painted and decorated plywood cutouts of papa bears, mama bears, and bear cubs can be seen in the centers of Cornwall Village, Cornwall Bridge, and West Cornwall (plus Goldilocks and The Three Bears at the town library).


 Each bear has been painted/decorated by a Cornwall artist. Pictures of some of the bears are below (but seeing them in person is much more fun!).
