In addition to the Public and Products Liability (PPL) and Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance included with a-n’s Artist membership, brokers Hencilla Canworth GI Ltd and a-n have developed the Artists’ Insurance Policy (AIP) for practising visual and applied artists wishing to buy additional insurance such as for artwork and materials, studio and contents, and employers’ liability.

Policy benefits are tailored to reflect the diversity of work practice and professional requirements of visual and applied artists.

This policy is available to all UK-based Artist members of a-n.
