New Jersey Artist and Crafter Vendor Insurance

ACT Insurance in New Jersey

Traditionally, New Jersey has been known as the Garden State for all the food it produces, but it also has more than 130 festivals each year that make it a great place for artists and crafters. As a member of the creative community in New Jersey, you’ve likely worried about what you can do to protect you and your creations during fairs and festivals.

Artists, Crafters, and Tradesman (ACT) Insurance offers two policies that are designed specifically to protect those artists and crafters who participate as vendors in shows, fairs, and festivals. Our ACT Go policy was made for those vendors who will only attend a few events each year. For those who need broader and longer coverage, our annual ACT Pro policy will better meet your needs.

Once you’ve taken the proper steps to protect yourself and your products, you’re ready to participate in the festivals. If you’re having trouble deciding where to go first, here are some shows for artists and crafters all around New Jersey.
