From today, a-n’s new insurance policy provides all Artist and Arts Organiser members with insurance cover for working as a self-employed artist and/or insurance cover for working in other self-employed or freelance roles across the visual arts.
What does this mean?
Many artists and arts organisers supplement their income with other freelance work. Without the proper insurance in place, they may put themselves at professional risk or may not be eligible for some contracts and opportunities.
a-n’s insurance policy means that artists and arts organisers can take on additional work and be insured for these professional activities in the visual arts – giving peace of mind, saving the cost of a separate insurance policy, and protecting their business.
Examples include; working as a freelance curator, art handler, art technician, coach or mentor, consultant, project manager, artist’s agent, communications and marketing, art educator, creative facilitator, producer and arts fundraiser.
The insurance policy provides £10m Public and Products Liability (PPL) cover and £5m Professional Indemnity (PI) cover. For full details and example policy documents, visit a-n.co.uk/about/insurance/.
