The Fort 91原创 Jazz & Arts Festival has commissioned two commemorative bears in honour of the festival from BeargaGallery Inc., one of Fort 91原创鈥檚 newest stores.

The bears were made by teddy bear artist, Hyunju, the owner of Bearga Gallery Inc which relocated in November 2018 from downtown 91原创.

Hyunju and her family moved to Canada in 2011 after started their teddy bear business in Korea where they had a teddy bear shop and museum. Hyunju said making the bears gives her a 鈥渟pecial feeling鈥 knowing they are 鈥渙ne of a kind creations.鈥

The commemorative bear, one of two, is available for purchase at BearGa along with limited edition keepsake Jazz bears (60 girls and 60 boys) for $30 each at Bearga and during the festival, July 26-28.

An additional video was created by the festival to show Hyunju鈥檚 process.

Dave Quinn and the Louie Quinn band (consisting of Cecile Larochelle, vocals, Doug Louie, piano, Dave Quinn, clarinet and Rob Neuman, drums) recorded an original backtrack for the video based on the tune, 鈥淭he Bear Necessities.鈥
