We Are...

Yes, we are getting the word out and I do mean WE. The IADR may begin with an "I" but it takes all of us together to make the IADR the great organization that it is.

I can't do it alone and no one should.  We are a community of doll artists and creators that are making a difference.  The IADR Art Doll convention in Italy is just one of those examples.   

Take a look at some of these amazing artists that will be sharing their talents with us at our event.   This post is on our YouTube channel but you can also see it on our Instagram account and will soon be up on our Bluesky account as well.​

We also created an event on Facebook about the convention.  If you would like to help support the event (even if you can't attend this year), why not mark yourself "interested" to help our efforts and maybe even share the event for others to see:

Welcome to another new member, Kristiina Meiner.  She is from Estonia which amazes me that the IADR can not only be truly international but also how important keeping the love of dollmaking thriving is to all of us.  

In this time of global upheaval and chaos, Art truly is the connection to the heart and soul that connects us all.

As we are working on the Shine the Light convention, remember to shine "your" light by being involved with  the IADR through the juried shows, submitting ideas and articles for the magazine, or simply showing your latest creation that you have made.  There are many ways to shine your light but if you still are not sure how, simply drop me an email at [email protected].
