Beyond Traditional Memorials: Celebrating Creative Talent

While traditional memorial sites focus on commemorating an individual, The Artist Lives Gallery celebrates their creative talent. Our goal is to honor their unique voice and artistic vision by creating a personalized page featuring their art, music, or writing. We are dedicated to keeping their work alive and visible, ensuring that it continues to be appreciated rather than fading into obscurity. We acknowledge the personal and subjective nature of art, which is why we welcome all submissions without judgment or curation, regardless of age or background.

I want my voice heard. In the end that's all people want. -Ethan Magder (1989 - 2017)

Following the loss of her son Ethan, Andrea Magder discovered his unpublished song lyrics, essays, and the beginning of a novel. In conversations with others, she realized that many people inherit paintings, music, and literary works after a loved one passes. The thought that their work would one day be forgotten was difficult to process and became the inspiration behind The Artist Lives Gallery.
