A Primer on Artist Trusts: Part 1
9-10am PDT, June 16th, 2022
I've been playing a supporting role in putting together a seminar about artist trusts with the Center for Art Law:
The estate planning process can seem complicated with the number of options and buzzwords out there for securing a loved one's legacy--wills, trusts, estates, foundations. With all this floating around, it's difficult to know what the best choice is for your artist estate. Join the Center for Art Law, with Melissa Passman, Esq., Jamie Johnson Dutterer, and Minelli Manoukian, Esq. as we discuss the basics of artist trusts, the pros and cons, and the real life experience behind making the decision to create one.
This event was made possible with the collaboration of Julia Schwartz, Artist Legacy Foundation; Tracy Bartley, R.B. Kitaj Estate; Farley Gwazda, Gwazda Art Services; and contemporary art curator, writer and researcher Kristina Newhouse.
Pre-registration is required via EventBright tickets are $5-10:
Artist trusts are a financial tool that can play a key role in the process of preserving your artwork, promoting your cultural legacy, and making things more manageable for your family. I'm always interested in learning more about the financial/legal side of things, so I am looking forward to attending this lecture. Join me?
By the way, if you are interested in getting started or revisiting your own legacy planning, I've put together a questionnaire that addresses the most important topics. Feel free to share with any interested friends!
