About Us
The PNW BJD Expo (Pacific Northwest Ball-jointed Doll Expo) was taken over by Casie Brabham in 2021. Casie now runs the event in Portland Oregon. The name changed in 2024 to the Pacific Northwest Doll Artist Expo to better suit the broad range of vendors and shoppers attracted to the show.
Our mission is to expand the reach of all doll artists through community building and friendship. In-person events allow us to expand our knowledge of the creativity of doll artists and companies. Through this venue we hope to give artists and vendors the opportunity to grow their customer base in a professional and exciting environment.
Our goal is to be one of the most exciting doll events of the year!
Dolls: You will find dolls made of vinyl, porcelain, resin, or plastic designed with the ability to have a wide range of motion and poseability. They are frequently used as models for customized artistic work that include costuming and photography.
PNW Doll Artist Expo is dedicated to all art dolls, including BJDs, Dollfies, Pullips, Blythes, Animes, Momokos, Monster High, Obitsu, fiber arts, 3D printing, porcelain, reborn and any other doll created by an original artist or company.
Recast Policy: Recasts of art dolls are not allowed to be sold or displayed in any manner at the expo. A recast is defined as a doll or doll parts produced from a mold created without the original artist’s written permission. We respect artists who create dolls and will not support or promote recasting or theft.
