The idea behind this brand-new legal framework was originally presented by the co-founder of Kickstarter, Yancey Strickler, during a TED Talk in 2025.[1] Strickler lamented how, in order to formalize their profession, artists have limited business frameworks to choose from, most with significant drawbacks. LLCs, for example, provide liability protection and pass-through taxation, however require custom legal assistance in order to ensure creative integrity and IP protection. The Artist Corporation (A-Corp) addresses these insufficient business models by combining the practical benefits of an LLC and an array of built-in terms and conditions tailored to artists’ needs.[2] Overall, A-Corp presents an opportunity for artists to pursue and build businesses on their own terms, all while guaranteeing customized legal protections that would normally cost thousands of dollars.
