After the Convention...

Nothing is better than making new friends and that certainly happened here at the IADR Art Doll Convention in Florence, Italy. 

Though some met friends that they already knew from past events or our zoom meetings, they were more than willing to take some of us who are new to Italy under their wings and make us feel like we were family.

With that, lets welcome our new members, Giusy Di Rocco from Italy, Kateryna Kadatska from Ukraine, and Mark Dennis from the USA to our IADR Art Doll family.

From the exhibit of the artist's creations to the juried show, it was exciting to see the variety of mediums as well as style of dolls. Overall, the event seems to have met with everyone's expectations which was great to hear.  But now is the time to be thinking of if we will do another one?

Whether you attended the convention or not, we want your responses in helping to know if you would support and participate in another IADR convention next year.  Please take a moment to answer the poll by June 1st, 2025!
