Annual Vision Award

John Kalafatis - Mosaic Artspace


Award Created by Valerie Hird

CPAL’s inaugural benefit is taking place on February 25, 2026. Honoring the visual arts community and celebrating the launch of our new home: 50 West Street, New York, NY 10006

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.

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.
