D.A.G. Conventions have been a beloved event in the doll community for almost 50 years. Dollmaking convention extraordinaire! The Doll Artisan Guild, a member organization, was founded in 1977 by the renowned doll collector Mildred Seeley. Over the years, we have evolved and adapted to meet the changing needs of our community, but our commitment to providing a fun and memorable experience for all has never wavered.
For more information about becoming a member, our digital publications, the DAG School of Dollmaking programs, please visit our website at www.dollartisanguild.org
At D.A.G. Conventions, we pride ourselves on bringing together members and DAG Instructors from around the world. From up-and-coming artists to experienced superstars, we know you will enjoy the workshops and presentations along with meeting fellow artists and crafters. All skill levels of dollmakers are welcomed and encouraged to participate at D.A.G. Conventions
The D.A.G. Competition has long been known as a wonderful way to share your work and get a reading on your skills. The DAG Certified Judges are committed to helping you be the best you can be or you may decide to enter the Tribute to Dollmaking category to display your doll without receiving a scoresheet. Where ever you fall in your dollmaking or costuming skills, the D.A.G. Competition is a great place to share and be inspired! Who knows? You might win a top award!
More information & Sign up coming soon.
The Doll Artisan Guild Convention also has a wonderful salesroom during the event packed with treasures for creating, collecting, sewing and more. A highlight for many artists who struggle to find supplies or just the right trim, the DAG salesroom is looked forward to with great anticipation!
More information coming soon if you are interested in being a dealer.
A grand finale would not be the same without celebrating the theme! On the final evening, our intrepid artists focus on dressing themselves in all sorts of costumes related to the theme of the convention. Of course it's optional but it really is fun to be a part of the parade. Lots of laughter with a sprinkle of awesomeness. Judges choose their favorites. We hope you will join the fun.
We hope you will join us!
