Additionally, an overview of key collaborative AI tools artists may consider will be provided.

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
