Support your artists with affordable insurance and Axis membership

Make it easier for your artists, stallholders, or exhibitors to access public liability insurance — and feel supported at the same time.

By selecting Axis as your preferred membership and insurance provider, you’re helping artists get the cover they need, while connecting them with a wider professional network.

Axis Membership includes public liability and professional indemnity insurance with up to £10 million cover, designed specifically for:

• Artists, Makers, Curators Producers and Art workers engaging with the public through projects, exhibitions, workshops, or events

The insurance covers third-party claims — such as injury to a visitor or damage to a venue — making it ideal for fairs, open studios, exhibitions, and participatory events.

Our insurance supports the way artists actually work — whether that’s in a gallery, a marquee, or a temporary space.

You can rest assured that your participating artists are covered — helping to support a safe and professional event.
