Our Polaris Bear art print captures the quiet strength and enduring spirit of one of Canada’s most iconic native species. Known scientifically as Ursus maritimus—the “maritime bear”—the polar bear has roamed the ice and starlit skies of the Arctic for countless millennia, perfectly adapted to one of the harshest environments on Earth.

A familiar symbol to Canadians—most notably featured on the $2 “toonie”—the polar bear holds a special place in our national identity. Yet today, this powerful species faces an uncertain future, now listed as vulnerable due to the impacts of climate change on its Arctic habitat.

Pre-inspection Before Shipping.

We stand by our products. Each print and frame is inspected for printing defects or damages as it is packaged for shipping. We will not ship prints or framed art we would not be proud to hang on our walls.  

Packaging Care and Materials.

Every ManMade Art order leaves our studio in packaging custom made for our products, ensuring it arrives in excellent condition. Unfortunately, accidents can happen in transit. If your order arrives damaged, we will replace it. We only ask that you provide photos of the packaging and item damages so we can assess what happened during shipping. 

Damaged in Transit.

All orders are carefully packaged in sturdy cardboard containers to protect them from the normal rigours of shipping. If your package arrives damaged, please keep the original packaging and send us photos. We'll get a replacement to you, but we can't process a replacement without seeing the damage first.

Shipping Policy and Terms.

Please double-check your shipping address and ensure it can be received at your specified address (residence or business). If, for some reason, delivery is denied to the correct address, fear not, we will help you find your order. If we give the shipper the wrong delivery address, we will pay for any extra shipping charges associated with the error. If it is hopelessly lost for reasons beyond our control, unfortunately, we'll have to share the new shipping costs based on our standard rates. Repeat free shipping is a one-time offer not available in these situations.
