insurance question

[elsiequilts]

I apologize if this post is in the wrong forum - can't really locate the "right" one! I am fairly new to the art quilting competition/exhibit scene, and have an application that asks me for the name of my insurer. This makes me think that maybe I ought to have one?! Maybe they're used to working with people whose art is coveted and who actually sell their work, but as I said, I'm new. Dare I say "undiscovered"? LOL. If any of you have experience in this area, I'd really like to know how to insure my work without spending a ton of money because, as I said, I've never even sold anything and don't have any money!!

I think the best person to talk to is the agent you have your homeowner's and/or auto insurance with. I think what you might need is liability insurance.
Hope this helps,

Since your homeowner's insurance covers quilts as if they were blankets, I have gotten most of my quilts appraised and then have them covered on a personal articles policy. The personal articles policy covers other things like jewelry and art. Talk to your insurance agent.

If you are in business to sell the quilts once they've shown in the gallery, homeowners may not cover them. Most quilters I know that are in business have some kind of business insurance.
