In June, the first ever Artist Corporations bill was signed into law in Colorado. Beginning in early 2027, artists and creators will be able to form a new kind of company designed around creative purpose, ownership, and independence.
Three weeks ago we were invited by the Boulder County Arts Alliance to speak at a town hall of Boulder’s creative community. The room was full — more than 100 people. When the moderator asked how many were artists, every hand went up.
During the session I gave a fifteen-minute presentation that went through what an A-Corp is and how it works. After a moderated discussion with a panel, we took audience questions for more than an hour. The questions were sophisticated, nuanced, and showed a real belief in the collective potential of Artist Corporations.
Below is an abbreviated version of the talk and slides I gave, as well as an edited version of the audience Q&A. On Wednesday, August 12 at 3pm ET, I’m hosting an online information session for anyone interested in learning more. RSVP here.
Everyone here has heard about A-Corps. But what is one, actually?…
