We believe that creativity doesn’t end with a life; it continues through the work left behind.

Preserving the Creative Work of Those We’ve Lost

Every day, artists, musicians, and writers pass away without ever having their voices heard or their talent recognized. The Artist Lives, a nonprofit organization was created in order to change that. We believe that every artistic voice deserves recognition, even after its creator has left this world.

After the loss of her son, Ethan, in 2017, founder Andrea Magder discovered artwork, journals, and an unfinished novel. While sharing his work with others, she learned she wasn’t alone. Countless families are left with creative works after a loved one passes. Yet, too often, their creations remain unseen, tucked away, and eventually forgotten.

The Artist Lives is committed to preserving their legacies by providing a platform to showcase their art, music, and written works. Every brushstroke, lyric, and story deserves to be remembered and not fade into obscurity.
