Our Mission is to help you connect with art. As you explore our website you will find information about our growing
Pottery Studio, our
Kids’ Classes and Summer Camps, and our
Wine and Painting Events. For a full list of events, including workshops, art shows, and guest artists, visit our
calendar.
Bear Hands Art Factory (formerly Art Materials & Ballantyne Framing) has undergone many changes over the years to serve better. But the important things are still the same: we serve our customers first, and help them come up with creative solutions for their needs. We provide a true art education to our students. We encourage, teach, and provide materials to our local artists, and we provide events that allow everyone to enjoy the painting experience. To stay updated on our up and coming events, subscribe to our newsletter, or visit our
blog.
We consider it a privilege to be an integral part of the lively and growing artistic community in New Bern. See you around town!
