What is the average cost of Art Gallery Insurance?

Although we are often asked this, there is no set answer. Every Art Gallery has different needs, different property values, and different coverage requirements. Asking this is similar to asking “What the average cost of art work?”

Many Business Insurance policies offer ACV or Actual Cash Value for Business Property vs. agreed value or RCV, Replacement Cost Value. For Artwork, ACV will pay the Actual Cash Value of the Art. This equates to the cost of the materials i.e. canvas & paint. We can cater your coverage to offer RCV or Appraised value to properly insure your Art Gallery Insurance Coverage.

Typically, for the coverage offered, an Art Gallery Insurance policy is very competitively priced, however remember the Art Gallery Insurance Policy does not provide coverage to items such as Workers’ Compensation, Professional Liability Exposures or Commercial Auto Insurance, however they are most certainly available and our agents will gladly assist you in custom tailoring your insurance coverage to cater to your needs.
