Attending
this year’s “Artist Doll & Teddy Bear Convention,” in Philadelphia, was an
awesome experience for the senses. The experience, as a whole, was great. Our
promoters Susan and Terri Quinlan put on an art show that surpasses any out
there. We begin on Thursday with a day of classes we sign up for in advance. On
Friday we can attend the Artists Marketplace and book signing where artists set
up tables with wares they sell at bargain prices and sign their books. The
seminars, given by artists were great. These were not only informative but so
much fun. The artists’ display of one of a kind art pieces for judging were out
of this world. The pieces exhibited this year surpassed the creativity of last
year and made judging very difficult. This year we also participated in a
special exhibit and sale of doll artists making a teddy bear and teddy bear
artists making a doll. It was lots of fun and lots of pieces went to new homes.
The early Friday show and sale and the Saturday show and sale were fun days of
laughter and meeting new people. In my opinion, this year we had more
conventioneers and new people attending than ever before. Lots of smiles,
laughter, and picture taking surrounded us all day.
I
recommend this show to everyone interested in showing and selling their art
pieces and to those who just want to experience three days enjoying the
atmosphere of art and fun.
