To get insurance you simply need to sign up to our Network Associate membership.
Our insurance is free as part of our Network Associate membership which costs £25 per year or £2.50 per month.
We’ve teamed up with insurance company Hiscox and taken out a special policy with them. Under this ‘umbrella’ policy, all of our Network Associate members have insurance cover. We can then divide the total cost of the policy with all of our members which reduces the cost.

Unfortunately our insurance does not currently cover damage or theft of artworks but it's something we may add to the insurance at a later date. You'll have to contact another insurance provider such as Hiscox, to arrange separate cover.
Artists who join as a Network Associate need to be based in the UK or have a permanent UK address to be covered. The public and product liability insurance covers claims brought across the EU. The professional indemnity is worldwide cover excluding claims brought in the USA and Canada.
No it does not cover anyone who works for you, they would need to sign up to Network Associate membership.
