Celebrating 2024
the Year of the Dragon

We asked NIADA Artists to create an auction piece with their unique and individual interpretations of: ‘Dragons’

The Dragon symbolizes power, strength, and good fortune. It is the mightiest of the signs, they are driven, unafraid of challenge, and willing to take risks. Furthermore, they’re passionate in all they do, and they do things in grand fashion!

The silent auction offers collectors the opportunity to own an original piece. Proceeds from the DRAGONS auction and the sale of the companion book will go to a NIADA Artist Grant to advance our mission to promote the art of the original, handmade doll.
