CPAL's 2026 Inaugural Benefit

Since our founding, CPAL has stewarded thousands of artists and their loved ones through legacy-preservation work. Our annual conferences, legal clinics, and artist roundtables have helped surface the challenges that accompany preserving an artist’s life’s work.

Today, the legacy field is facing a growing crisis. It’s time to build long-term solutions.

In the spring of 2025, we secured a 10,000 sq. ft. raw space located at 50 West Street in the Financial District in Manhattan, establishing CPAL’s new home. This will be the first national center to focus solely on artistic legacy stewardship and its many facets: from education and recovery, to preservation, and placement of artworks and archives.

Realizing this mission is going to take hard work and we need your help. To support CPAL’s Capital Campaign please visit our website. Your contribution—at any level—makes a difference. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has already given. Your donation is significant and meaningful.

To discuss your support for CPAL’s Capital Campaign, please contact Joy Glidden, Executive Director, to arrange a meeting.
