An Enduring Statement

estate planning for artists, art preservation | center for art law

What happens to artists’s artworks and collection after…? How and when are their legacy preserved? Are their fiduciaries and beneficiaries protected? Let’s ask artists whether they want to donate, sell or destroy their art and why, the time is now. Let’s disrupt the estate planning process for the better.

The Center for Art Law is proud to present this event in connection with its Artist Legacy and Estate Planning Clinic. Program in affiliation with the clinic are designed to guide artists and collectors on how to plan in advance on what to do with their work and collection after their death

Join us for a program with estate attorney Matthew Erskine, attorney and managing partner of Erskine & Erskine LLC, and Charlie Hewitt, painter, printmaker and sculptor, to discuss the importance of estate planning and the steps to take when doing so. This program will begin with a guided question and answer from the perspective of both the estate attorney and the artist themselves, and end with questions from audience participants. Together, both the attorney and the artist will shed light on some concerns, interests, and hot topics of discussion that are inevitable when it comes time to solidify an artistic legacy for the future.
