Giving Back is Dead: Chelsea Spengemann

Chelsea Spengemann joins Scott Stover on Giving Back is Dead to discuss Soft Network, the nonprofit she co-founded and now leads as Executive Director. The organization collaborates with artist estates and archives to develop sustainable legacy models for historically significant artists who lack the commercial gallery representation needed to preserve and promote their work. Their goal is to ensure that these artists' contributions endure despite not achieving the commercial success required for broader recognition.

Chelsea has also created an email chain/group called Artist’s Foundation & Estate Leaders’ List or “AFELL” concerning best practices for people who are actively managing artist’s estates. AFELL currently has +300 members.

GBID is particularly interested in models which are not motivated by the market.
