Business insurance
Insurance for Creative & Performing Arts Businesses
A performing arts business has public-facing and equipment risks that are easy to underestimate. Public liability is essential for audiences, students and visitors at performances, classes and rehearsals, while contents and equipment cover protects instruments, sound and lighting gear, costumes and sets. Workers' compensation applies once you employ performers, teachers or crew.
Premiums often sit around the ~$2,000 mark and vary with venues and gear. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review cover before the new financial year, especially if your programme of shows or classes is growing.
Common questions
Creative & Performing Arts Businesses — insurance questions
Do I need public liability for performances and classes?
Almost always. Public liability covers injury or damage involving audiences, students and visitors, and many venues require proof of it before you can perform or teach. It is usually the first cover an arts business should hold.
Is my equipment and gear covered if it is damaged or stolen?
Contents and equipment cover responds to loss or damage to instruments, sound and lighting gear, costumes and sets. Given how much these cost to replace, make sure the cover reflects the real value of your kit, especially when it travels to venues.
