Illinois Artist and Crafter Vendor Insurance

ACT Insurance in Illinois

From the world’s largest bottle of catsup in Collinsville, to the fire-breathing dragon in Vandalia, the great state of Illinois is home to some incredible art and—accordingly—there are hundreds of craft fairs and festivals to attend across the state each year. As an artist or crafter showcasing your work at these events, you may a have worried about protecting your work, but at Artist, Crafters, and Tradesman Insurance, we have the answer.

 

Keeping vendor-specific needs in mind, ACT has created two insurance policies to protect you and your business for as little as one event or as long as a full year. The process to get your artist insurance policy is simple, short, and allows you to focus more on your passion as an artist or crafter.

 

 

Don’t get overwhelmed with trying to decide which festivals you should attended. Here are some of our favorite fairs and festivals in Illinois.
