The IADR is There...

​The IADR (International-Art-Doll-Registry) is a fabulous collection of dollmakers and artists.  But we are more than that... we are also a community. A community that helps support the education in dollmaking and the opportunity for sales of our art.

​In that way the IADR is there...

We are there with the IADR website and the opportunity to have your own gallery space through the Artist's Studio page.   Through your Artist's Studio page you have the ability to tell a potential customer about your dolls as well as display many different views of your dolls to help the customer understand better the process you used to create that work of art.

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].
