2025 After the Convention Poll

In Italian - click here

On May 15-17, 2025, the International Art Doll Registry (IADR) had their first convention at the Hotel Albani Firenze in Florence, Italy. The convention included a juried doll competition, several workshops presented by international artists, a banquet dinner with a presentation by the guest speaker Mark Dennis, and two days of open-to-the-public sales tables.

We would now like your comments to determine if we should be scheduling another convention and should it be at the same place and date.

Please complete the poll below by June 1st, 2025 so that we can provide the results in the next edition of the IADR Art Doll Magazine and begin possible planning of the 2nd Annual IADR Convention.
