Visiting Artist Critique

To register for the Conference, Master Classes, Critique, and Challenge Invitational Exhibit, please download the brochure, which includes registration forms and instructions, or register online: Online Registration Form (coming soon)


All Visiting Artists are welcome to participate in a NIADA Artist Critique. A critique offers the opportunity to display work, discuss problems, and interface with a NIADA Artist member. Participation in a critique is by separate registration and available ONLY to conference registrants with official registration numbers.

Registrants may register for more than one critique, and the fee for EACH critique is $25.00. Critiques are done on a one-to-one basis with a NIADA artist.

Requests for specific artists will be accommodated when possible but is not guaranteed.

Areas which may be discussed during a Critique:

  • Craftsmanship – How the medium is handled, attention to detail, painting, wig technique, construction, and base support.
  • Design – Use of color, composition, and scale.
  • Anatomy – Proportion, bone structure, and facial rendering.
  • Concept – Originality, approach, feeling evoked by concept.

Dolls critiqued will be available for viewing by all registrants during a scheduled exhibit. Each piece is allotted a table space of no larger than 15” square.

Participating Visiting Artists need to provide any base necessary to support their work, and it must fit in the allotted space.
