Summer's Here...

Summer's Here—Shine on YouTube! Yes, our May juried show event is now on our IADR YouTube channel.  Also thank you goes out to Anna Esposito for sharing some of her interviews with the IADR.  They are also up on our channel.  Plus I also added some "clips" from the Winter Blue juried show... resulting in over 6000 views this week!

Did you know there are a couple of ways to work with the IADR and our YouTube channel?

One way is to enter the IADR juried doll shows.  All online enteries are included in the video created for the juried show.  The clip I created of Andy Tatler's entry from the Winter Blue event for this week just received 555 views.  Thanks Andy for sharing Quintessa with us. 

The second way is to collaborate with the IADR YouTube channel.  If you are creating a video that you would like to share with the IADR, then get the collaboration link and share it by emailing it to the [email protected].  You can double your reach by putting it on your YouTube Channel and now the IADR one as well.  This is just one way to shine this summer. 

​Talking of Juried Shows, the Marine Character event is now open.  Deadline August 14th, 2026.

Sweet Deals 

These are two sweet deals that the ART DOLLS Magazine is offering this summer.  Great way to receive a free listing in the Directory of the ART DOLLS Magazine just by buying ad space.  The Directory is located on the website which makes looking for a doll maker or supplier, the easiest way to find them.  Plus at the end of the year, we will be creating one special magazine issue focused on the Directory.  For more information, email [email protected].

Shylock Doll Gathering is meeting Tuesday, June 16th at 12:30 pm MST via  Zoom.  Contact Lesley if you like an invite to this informal meeting of doll lovers.
