We connect the artists and the collectors within the pages of Bears&Buds' bi-monthly online teddy bear magazine sometimes referred to as a Webzine.
Through the Global Directory listings, featured articles and the Annual URSA Awards Competition, members are able to participate directly with the web site which provides visibility and ongoing enthusiasm for the teddy bear industry. Collectors and readers are entertained, educated, and have access to artist members 24/7.
