Artists' Studio Trail
There are many artist studios in picturesque Bear River and they are easy to find. Signage throughout the area directs you to studios where you can browse and buy art directly from the artists. Information about the artist trail can be found at the artist directory kiosk (in the parking lot next to Bear River Grocery) or pick up a brochure at visitor information centers throughout the province. All studios are within a 10 minute drive from the downtown center of the village.

The Oakdene
Community Centre
1913 Clementsvale Road, Bear River
The Oakdene Community Centre holds a special place in the village’s history and present-day culture. Originally built as a schoolhouse in the early 20th century, it has since been repurposed as an important hub for the artistic community. Today, the Oakdene Community Centre is home to numerous artist studios, where local artisans and craftspeople create and showcase their work.
Also housed in the Oakdene Centre is the Bear River Heritage Museum.
