Why artists need to be insured and how Alan & Thomas can help

Whether you are a painter, sculptor or any kind of artist, it is imperative that you attain insurance and that you are properly covered.

Whilst in a public space, artists may have little control over how people might interact with the work and whilst in most instances there are no issues, but one needs to be mindful about the potential ramifications if a glass-fronted painting or picture is not properly hung and installed or if a child attempts to climb up onto a free-standing sculpture and it gets damaged. Whilst these are unusual circumstances, they are the kind of risks that both Artists insurance and Sculptors insurance can cover.

Alan & Thomas can insure your artwork on a worldwide basis (even if it is away from your premises or it has been entrusted to a third party) and can be provided at shows, exhibitions, workshops and fairs. Alan & Thomas insurance can also include public liability insurance, business interruption and employer’s liability cover too.
