Join us for an engaging and insightful luncheon exploring how art can serve as a powerful and often overlooked charitable asset. Presented by Carolyn Bare, Founder of Trust Matters Financial, this session will demystify the complexities of gifting art and provide practical guidance for advisors and development professionals.
Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the differences between original and editioned works, common misconceptions around value and authenticity, and the critical importance of qualified appraisals and proper documentation. The discussion will also highlight best practices for ensuring compliance while maximizing impact for both donors and organizations.
Whether you are new to art-related gifts or looking to deepen your expertise, this session offers valuable tools to help transform personal collections into meaningful legacy gifts.
