Take a look at some of these amazing artists that will be sharing their talents with us at our event. This post is on our YouTube channel but you can also see it on our Instagram account and will soon be up on our Bluesky account as well.
As we are working on the Shine the Light convention, remember to shine "your" light by being involved with the IADR through the juried shows, submitting ideas and articles for the magazine, or simply showing your latest creation that you have made. There are many ways to shine your light but if you still are not sure how, simply drop me an email at [email protected].
After all, one purpose of an artist is to educate, illuminate, and inspire passion or pain. To expand the awareness and awaken the emotion of the observer to the Art. By definition, to Illuminate is to 'make (something) visible or bright by shining light on it'. Art helps to clarify or explain and enlighten spiritually or intellectually. So what types of entries would qualify for the theme? One example is Patrizia Cozzo's Fairy with Lantern and why she was selected to represent our convention. The IADR appreciates Patrizia sharing her art with us and inspiration. Simply holding a light source is one way to Shine the Light.
The IADR juried event is open to all sculptors and makers of one-of-a-kind handmade sculpted art dolls - no matter the medium. The Jury Show Competition will consists of two categories - Sculpted Artworks and Fiber Arts. Sculptured Artworks of all kinds are welcome in clay, paper-clay figurative sculpture, porcelain, polymer, or other like mediums. Fiber Arts is a separate category from the other mediums entries and will include all competition entries of wool/needlefelting and cloth dolls Each category will have five separate skill levels being Novice, Intermediate, Advance, Professional, and Master. There will be an award opportunity for each level when meeting the competition requirement. The submission fee for one doll entry for the jury show is included with a convention registration otherwise a fee of 30 Euro will be charged. Each person is authorized only one entry per category (Sculpted Art or Fiber Art) for the juried show competition. To enter a doll in the competition, it must be delivered to the registration table at the scheduled convention time and picked up after the award presentation during the Banquet Dinner. If you have any questions please refer to the Juried Show link for the Convention at https://www.international-art-doll-registry.com/convention-juried-show-submission.html or email to [email protected].
The IADR is also there to help promote your work through the IADR Art Doll magazine. As a member you can share ideas, articles, and tutorials to other artists. You can also have your work featured in a 'Do What You Love' page or part of the Facebook collage. All that advertising is free to IADR members as part of the perk of being a member as well as receiving the magazine at no additional cost. The IADR is there in the social media platforms. The IADR in Facebook will like and comment on other member's post, especially if you tag me in them. That is especially true for Instagram as the new algorithm is now focusing more on the "Share" aspect. I do need to be tagged if you want me to share your reels which again that is the new focus Instagram is also pushing. Have you figured out how to add a click-able link to your reels? If you haven't and would like to know how, then email me at [email protected] and I'll try to help you through that process. All those little steps are what helps make a potential sale. Also the IADR is looking to grow through getting established in new areas like in the Bluesky social media. I do believe that will be the future direction social media will be heading and we have built an IADR custom feed for your use. We are also growing with our first IADR Art Doll convention in May, 2025. There is still time to sign up to register for the event if you like to take in the whole experience. Otherwise, check out the workshops which are a great educational event - or - would you like an opportunity to sell your work at the open to the public Sales Event? If you have any question regarding any of those areas then contact Adelaide Santini, the Italian representative for the convention or email me at [email protected].
To learn more either contact Adelaide Santini (if you wish to talk to an Italian IADR member-representative for the convention) or email me at [email protected].
The IADR also created a video showcasing all the entries and I hope you enjoy viewing it as it was fun creating. The video can be viewed on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN_h63LiMDo
When you register to attend the IADR Convention you receive the option to have a sales table in the open-to- the-public Sales Rooms, one meal ticket for the Gala Dinner which includes beverage, one free doll entry to the Shine the Light juried Doll competition, and A Chance (ticket) at capturing the "Catch of the Day" for your very own.
Just like that, it is easy to enter the Winter Blue show and take a chance on winning a year membership with the IADR. Sounds like a win/win situation to me *smiling*.
For those paying for workshops and/or registration for the convention with Paypal, we have established a process to help with the Paypal Conversion Fee. If paying in euros we can invoice you to avoid having to pay the conversion to US dollars. This option is available to those not wanting to use a credit card. If choosing this option, please contact me at [email protected] and I will send you an invoice.
Limited Edition mini-tote bags are available for those in the USA. Click here for the link: IADR Tote Bag
