Art Bites – Professional Practices, Legacy: Legal and Financial

Legal and Financial: Saturday May 10, 2025, 1-2:30 pm

The third in Artists Archives of the Western Reserve’s Art Bites: Legacy series of workshops meant to help artists and their families with all aspects of the planning that needs to be done in order to preserve their artistic legacies.
This workshop will be led by lawyers Todd Masuda, and Dawn McFadden and will cover how artists can use business and estate planning strategies to help manage their creative careers while working, in retirement, and after death.

In this presentation two attorneys – an estate planner and a business lawyer – discuss legal structures that can help artists establish different ways to manage issues of ownership, disposition, and control for their bodies of work.
