How Much is a $1 Million Art Show Liability Insurance Policy?

A $1 million art show liability insurance policy is $24.25 per month with ACT Pro and $49 per event with ACT Go. Both policies include a $1 million occurrence limit and a $2 million aggregate limit for general liability coverage.

For each claim (occurrence) you file, the maximum amount of coverage you can receive is $1 million. The maximum amount of coverage you can get per policy period (aggregate) is $2 million. If the total cost from all claims filed in one policy period exceeds your aggregate limit, you are responsible for covering the remaining costs.

Why Do Art Show Vendors Need Insurance?

Art show vendors need insurance to meet event requirements, protect against costly claims, and build trust in their brand. Being insured makes you stand out as a top choice for event organizers and gives customers the confidence to buy, helping you book more events and boost sales.

Plus, a single claim could cost more than a year’s worth of sales. Liability insurance is a small investment that safeguards your bigger dreams!
