The Specifics

What actually goes
wrong here.

01

Collections and productions

Artwork, instruments, sets and equipment are often worth more than the organization’s operating budget, and standard property limits rarely reflect that.

02

Public performance and exhibition

Audiences, opening nights and installations create concentrated premises exposure on specific dates.

03

Contracted artists and technical crew

Rigging, lighting and set construction involve physical work by people who may or may not be your employees.

How We Work

We read the contract
before we quote it.

Since 1986 we have placed coverage for the organizations that care for people across California — nonprofit and for-profit alike. That means reading the funding contract, the lease and the program description before we go to market, so the policy matches how you actually operate.

We also include free unlimited access to HR specialists, and we don’t charge a broker fee with most of our insurance programs.

Questions

Questions we
get asked.

Often inadequately. Fine arts coverage is written specifically for collections and valued differently from ordinary business property.
Possibly, particularly where alcohol is served or attendance is significantly above normal. Report the event to us in advance.
Property in transit or off-premises typically needs inland marine coverage — it is a common gap worth confirming.
