Artist Bears Collection

Agape Bears is pleased to present a recently acquired collection of early artist bears. Created in the 1980's and early 1990's, these are examples of the exceptional creativity from the early years of the Artist Teddy Bear movement. Most of these artists can be found well represented in the early issues of Teddy Bear Review and Teddy Bear & Friends magazines. Included are artists whose work was recognized by a Golden Teddy or TOBY Award. Although a few of the artists are still actively creating bears, most are not.
