DOLLS ON PARADE
"Dolls on Parade"
2010
The Valley Arts Alliance has teamed-up with the Valley Community for Recycling Solutions (VCRS) to invite all artists in the Valley to join us for Dolls on Parade!
The Valley Arts Alliance has worked with the VCRS for the past 3 years, most recently when we arranged for models and artists of the 2010 VAA Wearable Art and Runway Fashion Show to participate at the VCRS “OCEANS” luncheon last February.
Dolls on Parade is modeled after several similar art exhibits throughout the world, including Alaska’s Wild Salmon on Parade in Anchorage and Veggies in Motion in Palmer. Artists were invited to submit a design proposal for decorating a doll—a “blank canvas” for artistic expression—that will be displayed throughout the Valley this summer!
Thirty entries were selected based on artistic creativity and originality of design, and those artists were provided with a doll approximately 16 inches tall that they decorated and modified.
One doll was even cast of iron at the recent 2010 VAA Art on Fire Iron Pour Art Fest!
The dolls were on display at the Valley Arts Alliance Art Pavilion, located this year in the Colony Theatre / Church during the 2010 Alaska State Fair, and presently at OTHER SITES around the Valley. The dolls will be auctioned to the public on Friday, November 12, during our "Hello Dolly" event at the Palmer Moose Lodge located at 1100 Cobb Street in Palmer, and the proceeds will be used to help support art and recycling in our community!

"Dolls on Parade"
2011
The Valley Arts Alliance has teamed-up with the Valley Community for Recycling Solutions (VCRS) to invite all artists in the Valley to join us for Dolls on Parade, part two!
The Valley Arts Alliance has worked with the VCRS for the past 4 years, most recently when we arranged for models and artists of the 2011 VAA Wearable Art and Runway Fashion Show to participate at the VCRS “OCEANS” luncheon last February.
Dolls on Parade is modeled after several similar art exhibits throughout the world, including Alaska’s Wild Salmon on Parade in Anchorage and Veggies in Motion in Palmer. Artists were invited to submit a design proposal for decorating a doll—a “blank canvas” for artistic expression—that will be displayed throughout the Valley this summer!
Fifteen entries were selected based on artistic creativity and originality of design, and those artists were provided with a doll approximately 16 inches tall that they decorated and modified.
The dolls will be on display at the 2011 Alaska State Fair, and at other sites around the Valley. The dolls will be auctioned to the public on Friday, October 21, during our "Hello Dolly" event at the Palmer Moose Lodge located at 1100 Cobb Street in Palmer, and the proceeds will be used to help support art and recycling in our community!
