IADA started in April 2006 and is the very first International association of doll artists in Russia. The main aim of IADA is to promote the Art of the Doll in Russia that can give good opportunities for doll artists from different countries.

IADA suggests many projects:

- exhibits on different themes in the museums and exhibiting centers of Moscow,
- St. Petersburg and other big cities of Russia,
- personal exhibits for the most outstanding artists,
- publications in Russian magazines on dolls Doll World and Doll master (published in Russian and English) and in other printed matters,
- participation of IADA artists and works in different International doll fairs in Holland, France, Italy, Japan and etc.
- charity.

One of the main ideas of IADA is giving the opportunities for less known and beginning artists to show their works and grow up, to unite them and promote our doll art all together on high standard and on the International level.
Artist doll is a Work of Art and thus it applies not only to doll collectors, but to any person.
So, actually the market could be enormous when the Art of the Doll will be recognized as well as painting or any kind of fine arts. International level of promoting projects is VERY important for it shows the scale and achievements, the beauty and craftsmanship of artist dolls.

Charity projects are very important for IADA as well for doll artists make dolls not only for profits, but most of them want this World to be more KIND, BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL - these feelings unite doll artists all over the World. Svetlana Pchelnikova, the organizer and leader of IADA invites every doll artists who support her ideas to join IADA and do BIG projects all together!
