ACT’s policies do not cover murals, performance or live art, graffiti art, three-dimensional installation art, physical structures (like galleries), or the hosting of an exhibit. Please read our policy exclusions to learn more.

You can insure your art by adding Theft & Damage Coverage to an ACT Pro policy.
Sometimes referred to as inland marine insurance or tools and equipment insurance, this coverage helps repair or replace your work, tools, and materials if they’re lost, stolen, or damaged — whether on display, in transit, or in storage.
Keep in mind, unlike fine art insurance, this coverage is based on Actual Cash Value (ACV), so it covers the cost to remake a piece, not its retail price tag.
An art gallery insurance policy can help cover third-party claims of bodily injury or property damage caused by an artist or their art. For example, slips and falls or accidental damage to gallery walls.
With an ACT Pro policy, you can also get coverage for:
Yes, gallery curators and art directors often require proof of liability insurance to ensure you’re covered if your artwork causes any accidents or damage within the gallery space or to its visitors.
Accidents can happen during an exhibition, while your art is on display, or when it’s in transit. Having the right coverage ensures you’re set for success and helps keep you financially secure should those unexpected moments occur.
Yes, you can get a short-term, ACT Go policy that covers you for a single exhibit or gallery event (1-90 days). You pay a one-time premium for general liability insurance that covers third-party claims.
You can also get an annual art gallery insurance policy that gives you 365-day coverage for unlimited events, paid as a single payment or in monthly installments. It includes everything the short-term policy covers, plus professional liability and the option to add additional coverages.
Yes, you can add art gallery owners or event organizers as additional insureds to your ACT policy at the time of purchase or at any time afterward via the online dashboard.
Many event coordinators require this to mitigate the risk of hosting events with multiple exhibitors. All ACT policies offer free, unlimited additional insureds.
