A Place to Leave Your Stuff

[With apologies to George Carlin]

End-of-life issues never make for an enjoyable discussion. But, for many artists, it requires extra planning. 

A lifetime of created works must be cared for and passed down. Whether it be canvases, books, music, plays, screenplays, designs — even a professional website — their future must be provided for.
 
Presented in association with CARFAC, this series took place in three episodes.
 

Part One – Legal Issues

Lawyers Paul E. Bain of Dickinson Wright and Kevin Forrest of AFBS cover wills, executors, powers of attorney, intellectual property and copyright, the burden on heirs, and other legal aspects of preparation. 

Part Two – Archiving

Marlena Wyman and Leah Murray talk about preserving your works and your online presence, preparing records, what to keep, how to donate.

Part Three – Taxes

Taxation issues that artists should be aware of when planning their estates.  This webinar took place on October 5th, 2023, led by tax accountant Zoe Klein

Wellness in Winter

A webinar on coping with the long winter months. With psychotherapist, certified mindfulness meditation coach, and CAN Community member Jorie Morrow
