Drum Roll, Please...

What an exciting week!  Let's begin with a drum roll please as we acknowledge those entries that wowed and inspired us by submitting their entry for the 2026 Winter Blue juried show.

You can see all the entries in the Winter Blue video on our YouTube channel and the winners are posted on the Award page of our website.  The winners of this show received a free year's membership with the IADR.  

Our next juried show will be in Florence, Italy with the theme Myths and Legends at the IADR Convention.  This is the one show of the year that is an "in person" show.  You do not need to be a member of the IADR to enter, but there is a small registration fee if you are not registered for the convention. 
​
Check out the juried show information under the 2026 Art Doll Convention to learn more about this upcoming show.

And the other exciting news... drum rolls again!  The new fresh look to our magazine is now called ART DOLLS Magazine.

This process came about quickly and we have certainly been burning the late night oil with this issue but we are very proud of how it turned out.  

As an IADR member you can still download this magazine from the IADR website for your convenience. The magazine took on a life of it's own and now has it's own website www.artdollsmagazine.com.

This magazine is where we are blending the best of both worlds from DOLLS and the IADR. As I said, this issue was a fast melting pot of combining and is an ongoing process.  Keep tuned in as we continue to expand as we share to other doll lovers and collectors.

Going forward with the ART DOLLS Magazine it will continue to be available also in Italian.  We are working on another language, but will let you know more on that later (*smiling*).
