Hi! Does the homebased business insurance type of coverage include theft or loss of my paintings if they’re in a gallery, or if the gallery closes and takes your art?

Here is another insurance agency option for artists in California, Nevada, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island: Nick Ayers, i80 Insurance, http://www.i80insurance.com. I highly recommend Nick and his team.

In reply to Valerie.

I am so sorry that you experienced frustration when attempting a online quote for California. Our agency is licensed in Washington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho and Arizona and those are the only states that are quoted on our website. My apologies if the “Northwest” reference wasn’t clear enough.

The main goal of my interview with Alyson was education, not sales. I hope that the information I provided may have encouraged some artists to schedule a conversation with their local insurance agent to discuss their exposures and coverage options.

Another option is Stratum Insurance, and agency that is licensed in 40+ states: https://stratuminsurance.com/biz/type/home-business-insurance/

My thanks to Alyson for the opportunity to be interviewed. She provides such a valuable service to her clients and followers.

In reply to Sheila Parsons.

Sheila: You sound like Level 2, but you’d have to ask about the liability. An insurance agent would help you figure it out.

Right now, without insurance, anything you use for your business probably isn’t covered inside of your home.

In reply to Valerie.

Valerie: While I know they can’t work with you in California, I thought anyone could get a quote. I was told it’s based on the West, but maybe Northwest is more appropriate. I will have Claudia come in and follow up if she can.

Hi Alyson,

Very interesting and frustrating. These folks won’t work with artists in California. They say Western US, but that is not accurate. Just thought you would want to know. Maybe save any California artists from wasting time on this.

Thanks
