Artist Insurance in Ontario

Protect the practice behind the work.

A working artist runs a small business: a studio with materials and finished work, exhibitions and fairs requiring liability certificates, commissions with deadlines, and art in transit to buyers and shows.

We insure artists across mediums with artwork coverage in studio, transit, and exhibition.

What the package includes

Commercial general liability (CGL) for third-party injury and property damage
Artwork coverage in studio, transit, and at exhibitions
Contents and stock coverage for inventory, furnishings, and supplies
Event liability, including set-up and tear-down days
Product liability for goods you make, sell, or distribute

Frequently asked questions

Is my work covered on the way to a gallery?: With transit and exhibition coverage, yes — including while hanging at the show. Galleries' policies protect galleries; consignment terms decide the rest, so we align your coverage with what you sign.
How much does artist insurance cost in Ontario?: Premiums depend on your revenue, team size, services, and claims history — many small operations pay a few hundred dollars a year for core liability coverage. As an independent brokerage we compare our full panel of insurers for the exact mix of coverage your business needs, so you only pay for protection that fits.
How do I get artist insurance quotes?: Request a quote online in about two minutes, or call us. Tell us what your business does and we'll shop the market — you'll get one advisor, the best available rate, and a certificate of insurance as soon as you're bound.
