• Darl.e and the Bear is an unofficial not-for-profit-run gallery. Alongside supporting our artists, we strongly believe in supporting our chosen charities. 

    We try to be as environmentally friendly as possible and are extremely aware of our natural surroundings and the fragility of the planet. 

    Darl.e (or rather originally Dali, its a long story but please do ask if interested)  is the art side of the gallery and The Bear is our planet-aware side.

    Art is an important 'lens' through which we and others experience the world. It can be a loud voice that shapes the way we think, to raise consiousness and be a positive vehicle for change.

    We are small but every little helps!

  • OUR CHARITIES

    who we support
    POLAR BEARS INTERNATIONAL They envision the long-term survival of polar bears and the unique part of the world they call home. Their mission is to conserve polar bears and the sea ice they depend on. PBI also work to inspire people to care about the Arctic, the threats to its future, and the connection of this fragile ecosystem to our global climate. As a science-based organization with staff including leading polar bear scientists and partnerships that span the circumpolar Arctic, they focus on addressing both the long- and short-term challenges that polar bears face, with a goal of sustaining a future for the bears across the Arctic. for more information on Polar Bears International (Larger version of this image opens in a popup).
    LADY FREETHINKER LFT is working to expose and stop animal cruelty through investigative reporting and other media, citizen petitions, and partnerships with rescuers and activists on the ground worldwide. They believe that by changing the norms and policies that allow cruelty, they can end human-caused suffering of all species — from the dogs and cats we call family to the billions of pigs, chickens and cows suffering on factory farms, to the human animals who need our help. LFT believe that creating systems that protect us all, regardless of species, is the key to building a free and compassionate world for generations to come. for more information on Lady Freethinker (Larger version of this image opens in a popup).
    WORLD WILDLIFE FUND WWF is the world’s leading independent conservation organisation. WWF's mission is to create a world where people and wildlife can thrive together. To achieve their mission, they're finding ways to help transform the future for the world’s wildlife, rivers, forests and seas; pushing for a reduction in carbon emissions that will avoid catastrophic climate change; and pressing for measures to help people live sustainably, within the means of our one planet. for more information on World Wildlife Fund (Larger version of this image opens in a popup).
