The NIADA Conference is held to coincide
with the
United Federation of Doll Club, Inc's annual convention
held at the Grand Hyatt Regency Chicago.
For more information please visit the UFDC
website
PLEASE NOTE: Although sales during
conference and at all conference locations and
rooms are limited to NIADA artists' work only,
it is worthwhile for visiting artists to bring
samples
of their best pieces. There are opportunities
to show that work. There is a critique, the critique
exhibit,
and the challenge exhibit. Many times
these exhibits have been covered in the press.
Also at panel discussions, during classes, demos
and workshops,
it is perfectly appropriate to use
your work to discuss techniques and presentations.
