April - DOLL CLUBS...

Doll Clubs are so important.  The one thing I hear so often, is that a person will say they thought they were alone in their love of dolls.

This is where Doll Clubs come in.  They help us play (which keeps us young). Clubs help build community and they also help preserve the history of dolls in all ages and eras.

This is where ART DOLLS Magazine come in.  We would love to help promote the Doll Clubs.  Keep in mind we only had three weeks to create our first issue.  There is no history for us to go to for connecting with the Doll Clubs.

Let us know who you are.  What are you doing and do you offer in person doll meetings or online? 

The International Art Doll Registry (IADR) has an informal doll club though we call it a gathering as we are a hodgepodge group.  We are an online group from around the world.  Mostly we talk about doll making and costume designs but we also are known to discuss the weather just because it is fun to hang out with other doll makers.  The Shylock Doll Gathering has been open mainly to IADR members, but we love talking to other doll lovers too.  For more information contact Lesley at [email protected].  No fee to join the doll group, but you will have to share a little bit about yourself as only doll lovers are accepted *smiling*.

Keep in mind, to have a shout-out in the magazine is FREE.  Just go to the forms section on the website and choose the one for Doll Clubs to tell us about your Club. If you are hosting a non-profit doll event, you can have that announced under the EVENTS in the magazine for FREE as well.  

The Digital Directory - The ART DOLLS Magazine website is creating a digital directory.  The Directory is a contact area where anyone who does something doll related can advertise and be seen.  Come back frequently as we add more and more advertisers.

There is even a section in the DOLL DIRECTORY for Doll Clubs & Organizations.

The Directory is divided into the different sections of doll retailers, clubs, organizations, doll artists, and services. The directory has two available options (Basic and Directory Plus), for purchase with a renewal listing fee charged each year. For more information contact us at [email protected].
