Hi Michelle,
We’ve come up against this as well. For City commissioned temporary projects sited on private property we’ve requested the Artists insure for liability during installation and de-install and that the site owner
take on liability during the exhibition period. It’s not ideal but it’s been working for us thus far. Usually artists have insurance – in the cases they don’t we refer them to fractured atlas. I’m very interested in learning what other communities do, thanks
for this question!

Subject: Liability Insurance for Temporary Public Art
Good Morning, Everyone,
What are your standards for Liability Insurance requirements for temporary (60 days in this case) public art projects? We do a temporary art project in a different community of New Mexico every year (and have for the last 14 years), however
for the first time in my memory, we have a site owner requiring a certificate of proof of liability coverage from the artist with them named as the insured (with less than two weeks to go before installation). These are small dollar projects, just $2,000 each.
I am just trying to get a sense of what other communities do with regard to liability insurance coverage (and the proof thereof) for these kinds temporary art projects.
Thanks so much for any info you can provide and have a great weekend,
Michelle
