How in-person events build doll collectors and doll connections is what Bambi and I talk about in this month's International Art Doll Registry podcast.
We discuss the advantages of being in a brick and mortar setup compared to doing fairs and markets. Join us as we look at the positive aspects of making connections with potential doll collectors and followers.
Yes, People's Choice is just around the corner! Deadline to submit your entry is September 16th!
This is the first time of collaboration with ART DOLLS Magazine. First reason to be involved is that this event is about being seen and the reach has just expanded with this collaboration.
The second reason to join in is the opportunity to win being on the cover of the October issue of the ART DOLLS Magazine. The more you share the link with friends and family so they may vote for you is a win/win situation by having others see your work.
