Bears of Sheffield: #50 Miami Moderne Bear
#50 of 61 big bear sculptures, this one was decorated by Jenny Steele and is located outside Sheffield Arena.
The design was inspired by the artist’s trips to visit the ‘art deco’ architecture of Miami Beach, Florida. The Bear features a myriad of decorative patterns painted in tropical colours on the building façades.

Bears of Sheffield
Bears of Sheffield is a public arts exhibition celebrating Sheffield and its surrounding area. Coordinated by The Children's Hospital Charity, the trail brings together businesses, communities, artists and schools whilst supporting Sheffield Children’s Hospital. The Bears have been brought to life by artists of all ages, both professional and amateur, and they arrived in the city in July 2021.
The Bears of Sheffield showcases 60 large and 100 little bear sculptures in both indoor and outdoor locations.
The bears are raising funds through sponsorship and donations to help transform the Cancer and Leukaemia ward at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
