Doll Art Exhibition in Dubai 2009



The Doll Art Exhibition was held at the city festival center in Dubai from the 9th to the 23rd of July. 15 artists from all over the world attended this exhibition. I was one of artists.

Dubai has a big summer event called summer supply every year. They decided to have doll exhibition as one of events this year. This was the first experience for them to see many kinds of hand made dolls. People were very eager to see dolls and workshops. I was surprised how popular Japanese culture in Dubai was. Many people spoke to me in Japanese too.

I enjoyed sightseeing in Dubai during day. We worked from 16:00 p.m. to 22:00p.m. So, we had free time during day.

It was a big success. Many people asked me to come back to Dubai and why I didn't have a shop in Dubai. I would like to go back to Dubai if I have another chance.

The Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys

I just wanted to let you all know of an exhibition going on in Denver, Colorado that you might be interested in. Here are the details:

Exhibition Title: Hina Matsuri: Girls' Day and the Dolls of Japan

When: January 1st- March 31st

Where: The Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys

The woman heading up the exhibit contacted me through my Etsy Shop and asked me if I could provide her with some information about Washi Ningyou. I sent her a short essay/biography as well as two of my own dolls (a maiko and a Japanese bride). The dolls will be on display at the museum.

If you would like more information, you can check out the museum's website: http://www.dmmdt. org/Exhibits. htm
