PANEL DISCUSSION

Sorting the Studio:
A panel discussion about dealing with a lifetime of work
with George Clarke and Ray Cronin

Date: Thursday, May 24 at 6pm
Halifax: Visual Arts Nova Scotia, 1113 Marginal Road

As we get older, we often wonder: what will happen to all our artwork? In this panel session attorney George Clarke, LLB and curator and author Ray Cronin will discuss various ways aging artists can deal with what is in their studio. How can artists make decisions about what work to keep and what should be donated, gifted, bequeathed, or even tossed? What do artists need to know about estate planning to make decisions about their work that are right for them and their loved ones? This panel discussion will involve short presentations by both experts with lots of opportunity for discussion with the audience.
