Are You In...

Are you in the mood to be in Florence, Italy yet?  If not, this great post with Giusy Di Rocco's doll - La mia terra - My Land, might just make you wish to be there.

So yes, the ART DOLLS Magazine will be at the IADR Art Doll Convention May 8th - 10th and we will also be part of the 90th anniversary of MIDA.  MIDA is a huge festival in Florence that promotes the creativity and artistry in Italy and around the world.

Why was the International Art Doll Registry was accepted at MIDA?  It is because we too help in promoting artistry from around the world.  

If you aren't going to be at the Art Doll Convention or MIDA, how does this help you?  As I said, the IADR will be promoting the doll artist's that will be there.  Part of that promotion includes having QR codes next to their dolls.  Those QR codes will be directing potential buyers and interested people back to the IADR Artist's Studio pages.

It has been proven every time we attract people to the IADR Artist's Studio page, people never look at just one artist.  So, even if you can't be at the Art Doll Convention or MIDA, you can still be seen through your own Artist's Studio page. 

​Is your page updated with your latest creation?  Now is the time to do it before our April-May activities. There is the Artist's Submission form on the member's only side of the website for your use.  Also if you wish to add or update a doll already on your Artist's Page, just contact me at [email protected].

Also these cool bookmarkers designed by Anna Esposito will be handed out promoting our IADR Art Doll Convention.  English on one side - Italian on the other side.  Thank you to Patriza Cozzo and Maria D'Anna for their contributions too.

This year's May Juried Show is an in-person event at the convention (where the doll must be present) with the theme being Myths and Legends.  Non-members can participate with a small fee. This event is open to Sculpted art and Fiber art.  Come join us at the Hotel Albani Firenze for a fabulous evening of food, festivity, and art.

​Lets welcome Margaret Aslanis Nystrom to the IADR.  She is a mixed medium of wood and porcelain doll artist from North Carolina here in the USA.

We can’t wait to see your beautiful dolls and creations!
