Legacy Lab New Mexico Seminar
Connect with experts in archives, law, museums, and more, and learn how to organize, protect, and sustain your artistic legacy!
Legacy Lab New Mexico Seminar
Legacy Lab New Mexico brings local and national esteemed arts leaders, archivists, legal experts, and artists together for a FREE full-day seminar focused on legacy planning for artists on June 13 at the Albuquerque Museum. (Half-day workshops are by application and require a sliding scale participation fee. See the event website for details.)
The program addresses a critical but often overlooked question for working artists: What happens to an artist’s work, archives, and intellectual property over time?
Or, as many artists and even collectors ask candidly: What am I going to do with all this stuff?
Through panels, presentations, and hands-on workshops, the event will equip artists with practical tools to organize, protect, and sustain their creative legacies.
Legacy Lab New Mexico was created to help artists in the region think strategically about the long-term stewardship of their work. By connecting artists with experts in archives, law, museums, and collections management, the program provides guidance on how creative practices can endure beyond an artist’s lifetime.
The keynote will be delivered by Ruby Lerner, founding executive director of Creative Capital, a nationally recognized organization that provides funding and advisory support to artists.
Panelists and speakers include prominent artists and arts professionals such as Neal Ambrose-Smith (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation, artist, research consultant and program developer for Joan Mitchell Foundation’s CALL program), Delilah Montoya (artist), Paula Wilson (artist), Josh T. Franco (Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution), and Sherri L. Burr (NM School of Law), and more, who will discuss topics ranging from archiving creative work and managing intellectual property to working with museums and estate planning. The full line-up of participants is at www.legacylabnm.org
