Creativity doesn’t die. It lives on through the work we leave behind.

Preserve a Loved One’s Creative Legacy

When someone you love passes away, their artwork, music, writing, and unfinished creative projects are often left behind, stored in boxes, closets, hard drives, or studios.

Without a way to preserve and share it, that work may remain unseen and eventually be lost.

The Artist Lives is a nonprofit digital legacy platform created for families, estates, and copyright holders who want to protect and share creative work with future generations

We provide a permanent and respectful online space where paintings, songs, manuscripts, and stories can be preserved so their voice, vision, and legacy continue to live on.

Keep Their Legacy Alive

Creative work reflects a life, a voice, and a vision that deserves to be preserved and remembered.
