Hire an Artist/Business Executive to present at your next company luncheon
The former executives of Death and Taxes, Inc. are available for special engagements to present their findings to your employees, club members, or volunteers. Presentations are specially tailored to your organization's function and can be timed to last from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. The presentations are lively, engaging, and fun.
Call for pricing and availability. The size of the audience, the nature of the program, travel expenses, and the length of the talk will all be considered and prices are agreed upon before the engagement.
Here are some examples of successful presentations:
1) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A brief but provocative presentation that outlines the most frequently asked questions the executives encountered when presenting or discussing their project Death & Taxes, Inc. You will gain a broader understanding for this unique experiment where business and art and life all intersect by hearing what other people immediately wanted to know. How did they do it? Who owned share of their corporation? Did they violate child labor laws? Find out the answers to these and many other burning questions you don’t want to leave unanswered! And then, ask a few of your own!
2) RISKY TAX STRATEGIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY ARTISTS
You probably never knew that Art could save you tax dollars. Fletcher and Reichert debate with a qualified tax professional over several risky tax strategies and explain why they think it would conceptually challenge an IRS auditor. The tax professional will then attempt to explain why these ideas wouldn't pass an audit. This is a panel-type presentation and audience members will be permitted to ask questions about either art or taxes during the presentation.
3) A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN LIFE AND ART
In this program you will increase your understanding for conceptual art, specifically those areas of art history where life and art collide. Finding its roots in early Fluxus art from Japan, life/art performances continued to develop through the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s culminating in the newest projects, like Death & Taxes, Inc. Fletcher and Reichert will walk you through a slide presentation and create a broader understanding for this complex niche of contemporary art.
4) TEN WAYS TO SAVE MONEY THROUGH ORDINARY CONSERVATION
Want to live your life more gainfully? Ask an artist! For years we've decried them as "starving" or "struggling" without recognizing their unique talents for developing highly efficient budgets! Fletcher and Reichert will discuss with your employees the ten most helpful ways they were able to trim their expenses during the year-long project Death & Taxes, Inc. Reducing their heating bills, trimming their grocery expenses, and giving gifts that "mean more" but "cost less"!
5) HOW TO RETIRE AS AN ARTIST
Navigate the complex world of retirement, including the intricacies of social security and STRS (for teachers), the difference between an IRA and a ROTH, embracing "work" in retirement, easy ways to save money, calculating what you’ll need, building an investment portfolio. All from the mouth of an artist and designed to be easy for another artist to understand.
