Insurance for Artist Managers & Literary Agents
As an artist manager or literary agent, you can get general business cover from any insurer. But there are good reasons for working with a specialist broker who knows how the arts operate.
The business of managing artists and authors’ careers involves some major implications for insurance, and many non-specialist insurers have fixed (and inaccurate) ideas about the industry – charging high premiums to protect themselves against the perceived high costs of cancellation, temperamental artists, unsociable hours and “high-risk” activities.
That’s why we've created Media Portfolio, a specialist insurance policy for the unique risk exposures encountered in managing those involved in the arts. Media Portfolio is exclusively available through La Playa, and is underwritten by Hiscox Insurance.
Media Portfolio helps avoid expensive duplications by covering many risks under a single policy, including:
- Property: computers, audio visual equipment, offices
- Business Interruption: protects income streams during physical and technological disruptions (fire, flood, power & telecommunications failure)
- General Liabilities: cover for compensation payments arising from damage to third party property or personal injury
- Employers Liability: for injury and illness to employees and freelancers
We can also arrange:
- Professional Liabilities: helping to defend you against allegations of libel, slander, infringement of copyright, breach of confidentiality
- Directors' & Officers' Liability: protecting decision-makers against alleged mismanagement of the organisation
- Travel & Touring: trip cancellation, medical expenses, passport replacement, loss of baggage
- Cancellation Insurance: cover against financial loss as a result of cancellation, abandonment, postponement or re-scheduling of an event. As an artist manager, you can opt to insure your highest earning artists with a “friends and family” type policy – entirely flexible and designed to coverage areas where your income is most vulnerable - without breaking the bank. Some problems are worth losing sleep over. We believe insurance isn’t one of them. More >>
