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 iadregistry@outlook.com 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 iadregistry@outlook.com.

The registration for the convention is now live and available to access on the IADR website.  If you have any questions, you can either refer to the magazine as we tried to explain the many options there or, as always, email Lesley at iadregistry@outlook.com.

Learn about the "Catch of the Day" in the magazine and how one might actually catch it for their own.  Early Bird Registrations do get the best options when they register for the convention as they will each receive three tickets for the drawing of the "Catch of the Day".  See what a registration offers (such as access to discounted rooms during the Convention in the hotel hosting it) as well as other benefits.  

Also, if you are offering a Workshop for the 2025 IADR Convention, please let me know if you haven't yet completed the application form.  If you want an opportunity to let people know about your workshop then please use the Workshop form on the website as soon as possible.  The description of your workshop will be used for the October Special Edition IADR magazine as mentioned above.  Don't forget to add pictures as those are what captures the interest first.  Deadline for submission to the magazine will be Sept 27th, 2024, Friday.  Its FREE advertising!!!  The Special Edition will be a FREE issue to everyone in order for it to be shared to get the word out even better.  If you would like to present a workshop at the Convention but don't know what you can offer, drop me an email at iadregistry@outlook.com.  I am willing to help brainstorm for an idea with you.
