To Do List...

The lazy dazzy days of summer are quickly disappearing.  How do I know that?  Because 'To Do' lists are starting to pop up.  Do you make them?

​They are an important tool that helps us keep organized and not forget important things to do.

Like vote in the 2026 Juried Show Theme Poll.  This is your chance to help shape the upcoming juried shows for 2025.  There are two areas to vote for:  One for the 2026 May Art Doll Convention show AND then for the 2026 August online Juried Show.

​Click the link to let us know what you would like to see for themes - ​https://www.international-art-doll-registry.com/polling.html.  Deadline for voting is September 5th.

People's Choice Event - Deadline for entering this event is September 5th.  If you are thinking ahead to the Year End Competition, keep in mind that one of the requirements for Year End is that you have had to participated in at least one juried show this year.  So if you weren't in the Winter Blues event, or didn't compete at the IADR Art Doll Convention in May - The People's Choice Event is the last event to enter so that you can qualify for the Year End Competition.

Also, it is a fun way to participate since you are having friends and family vote for your work as well as the public.  You can't sell dolls without being seen, as this is our best event for our Artist's Studio pages to be seen.  The reach is always tremendous.  Keep in mind that if you want any updating to your Artist's Studio pages, let me know so we can make those changes.  You can email me at [email protected].

Congratulations to Nade Jankovska for her Shout Out in August/September 2025 DOLLS magazine.  Great job!
