A-Corp Law

The Artist Corporation Act would create a new category of legal entity designed specifically for creative people and artistic enterprises. The legislation defines the A-Corp's governance structure, ownership rules, intellectual property protections, and tax treatment.

The bill was drafted in collaboration with corporate attorneys, tax specialists, and working artists. It has been reviewed by economists who have completed fiscal impact analysis confirming the A-Corp would be a net positive for state economies.

Key provisions include: collective ownership structures tailored to creative collaboration, artistic mission protections that prevent the dilution of creative vision, streamlined governance that reflects how artists actually work, and intellectual property frameworks designed for shared creative output.

Colorado is the launching pad for A-Corp legislation. We chose the state for its thriving creative community, forward-thinking legislature, and track record of innovative policy.

We've made four trips to Colorado, meeting with arts organizations, university programs, creative collectives, and individual artists. We've built relationships with the Governor's office, secured a bill sponsor in the Colorado Senate, and assembled a coalition of supporters across the creative economy.

The coalition includes musicians, visual artists, filmmakers, writers, designers, and performers -- a broad cross-section of the creative community united by the belief that artists deserve economic structures designed for them.

While Colorado leads the way, the Artist Corporation Act is designed to be replicated across the country. We're already in conversations with lawmakers and arts advocates in multiple states about introducing similar legislation.

The goal is a wave of A-Corp legislation that gives creative people in every state access to this new structure. Each state effort will be tailored to local needs and conditions, but the core framework -- creative ownership, artistic mission protection, accessible governance -- remains consistent.
