Creativity doesn’t end with life. It lives on through the work left behind.
We preserve the legacies of artists who’ve passed
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 to change that. We believe 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 his artwork, journals, and an unfinished novel. While sharing his work with others, she realized she wasn’t alone. Countless families are left with creative works after a loved one passes. Yet, too often, those creations remain unseen, tucked away, and eventually forgotten.
