Visual and applied artists get £5m public and products insurance cover as an integral part of an a-n artist subscription with AIR membership.  This Public Liability Insurance is particularly useful artists and makers who take part in exhibitions, especially Open Studios and Arts Trails, as well as for those who run workshops.

This visual arts specific scheme has been developed through the AIR Artists' Advisory Group and negotiated with brokers Hencilla Canworth by a-n The Artists Information Company on behalf AIR.

Launched in 2006, AIR - Artists' Interaction & Representation - membership from practising visual and applied artists has already risen to over 8,000 with new members joining daily from across the UK and internationally.

The AIR insurance scheme has been warmly welcomed by curators and arts employers who can now be assured that the artists they commission or contract through a-n+AIR will automatically have the necessary professional insurance cover.
