about art for artists
I've developed a dedicated page which is a Compendium of the companies providing Insurance Policies for artists and art collections in North America - the USA & Canada You can find this at Insurance for Art and Artists in the USA & Canada. It provides links to information about INSURANCE POLICIES for USA & Canada for:
PLUS: On the page I also include and recommend you READ BUSINESS INSURANCE Guidebook For Artists BY CERF+ (A Studio Protector Publication). This is an EXCELLENT GUIDE to what you need to know about business insurance for artists. Just click the link and download the PDF file to keep and read at your leisure. My reason for creating this page is that I have known individual artists in the USA who have been hit by really terrible events - such as fire and tornado and flooding. For example, eight years ago, back in early September 2011, very bad wildfires in Bastrop, Texas meant Carol Marine (Carol Marine's Painting A Day) and her husband David and son had to vacate their house very fast in the early afternoon. Her house and studio were subsequently burned to the ground. See
When we stood in the front street, we could see huge clouds of billowing smoke. There wasn’t even enough time for them to take more than their computers. I backed my car through their front yard and up to Carol’s studio, but we didn’t take anything more than a few small paintings of Carol’s. They lost all her art that filled their house. Carol commented at the time The good news is, we have fire insurance. I'm trying to think of more good news, but that's all I got. I know that having proper insurance for your art business makes such a difference when trying to start again I am not associated with any of the companies in the listing and get no benefit from it. It's very much a "public information" page (as much of this website is) and was one purely derived from:
I'll periodically review this - normally to check that all the links are still live! However, I'd be more than happy to hear from you about your recommendations if you have a recommendation based on a company you have used which:

Have you caught up with the need to rethink the packaging you use for sending your art to buyers/collectors?
In 2019, given the imperative to reduce the amount of plastic used for packing materials (and having watched how fast the supermarkets are converting their packaging), I'm started to develop more information on this page about Ecowrapping - recyclable and biodegradable packing materials on my webpage about Packaging Materials for artists shipping art. These include products made by Eco-craft - which include clear biodegradable and/or compostable display bags for cards. Plus ecocraft send you samples if you want to check them out. If you have info to share about new GREEN packaging products - which help meet the packaging needs of artists and craftspeople - please feel free to contact me. If a product is suitable for artists and/or is recommended by an artist who's been using it and likes it a lot then I'll probably add it to this page. |
