And introducing many new artists to The Terrible Toy Fair III


The Dollhaus Gallery presents the third year of this unusual and unique Toy Fair. This is an alternative to the corporate toy fairs that are held across New York City in large venues and private toy rooms within the toy industry. The Terrible Toy Fair III opens two days before The Javits convention center Toy Fair begins with the industries lavish three-day event.


Dollhaus artists have all been highly unusual and yet have retained a child like sense of playfulness to their work. The work is well highly executed and skillful, always valuing technique as much as concept.


The concept is simple all toys are modified, wholly made or adapted. The idea of a toy-based show is a continuation of the theme of The Dollhaus Art gallery and all of its concepts and artists.


The first fair was held at the original gallery The Dollhaus in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2003. It has long outgrown the original space and has moved into bigger venues.


“Remember a Dollhaus toy is ... ... ..., Unfortunately forever!”
