Lauren,

Professional liability is for licensed design professionals like architects and engineers.  The artist cannot get professional liability, but that insurance can be carried by the engineers or other design professionals with whom the artist subcontracts.

Good morning, everyone,

 

We are looking into a different insurance structure where artists could possibly go through us for the professional and general liability insurance for public art projects. Do any of you have examples of a policy like this? We have found that the insurance requirements needed by the City of Memphis can be a real cost burden to artists over the life of a project, and wanting to make that a bit easier if possible. 

 

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you can send our way!

Best,
