What is Artisan Insurance?
Artisan insurance is general liability coverage tailored for artists and craftspeople who sell their products at events or online. It’s your financial safety net against, keeping you from paying out of pocket for accidental damages or injuries caused by your business.
Insurance Canopy’s event-ready coverage includes:
- $2 million aggregate in general liability protection
- Flexible coverage options by the show or year-round
- Event-approved Certificate of Insurance (COI)
Who Needs Artisan Insurance?
All art vendors and small businesses selling handmade goods need artisan insurance to protect themselves against lawsuits or claims. Artisans who trust Insurance Canopy to support their craft include:
- Potters and ceramic artists
- Jewelers and metalsmiths
- Woodworkers and furniture makers
- Leatherworkers
- Textile artists
- Basket makers
- Stone carvers and sculptors

How Much Does Artisan Insurance Cost?
Artisan insurance starts at $49 per event for fast, affordable coverage in just a few clicks. It’s perfect for artists who need instant proof of insurance to get into a venue or event.
Annual coverage starts at $279 per year for 365 days of protection that includes product liability and the option to expand your coverage with add-ons. The final cost of your policy depends on your sales and the limits and coverages you choose.
Artisan Event Insurance vs Annual
Our artisan event insurance provides the event-compliant protection you need when you need it, whether that means one day, one week, or an entire season. An annual policy lets you attend an unlimited number of events year round.
Event Insurance
- 1-90 day policy options
- Short-term general liability
- Covers single events
- Tools and Equipment coverage available
- Does NOT include product liability
Annual Insurance
- General liability coverage
- Includes product liability insurance
- Covers an unlimited number of events
- Other add-on coverages available
- Automatically renews each year
Add-on Artisan Coverage Options
Vendor insurance for artisans protects your business from the unique risks that come with participating in events, like someone falling in your booth or your display scratching the venue’s floor. Get the customized coverage you need with add-ons like:
- Tools and Equipment Coverage (Inland Marine): Helps pay to repair or replace your tools, materials, or equipment if damaged or stolen
Or, when you opt for the annual policy, you can also add:
- Cyber Liability: Covers recovery costs if your online store or payment system suffers a data breach or cyberattack
- Professional Liability: Protects you from claims tied to advice or demonstrations you give during classes, commissions, or workshops

FAQs About Artisan Insurance
Is a Certificate of Insurance (COI) required for markets or fairs?
Yes, a COI is often required before you can participate in markets or fairs. Sometimes called an ACORD form, this document shows event coordinators that you have the necessary coverage to handle accidents if they come up.
Not all events require proof of insurance, but it’s still best practice to have liability coverage so you’re not paying out of pocket for claims and putting your business at risk.
What’s the difference between a single event policy vs an annual policy?
A single event policy provides liability protection for your booth for up to 90 days. An annual policy protects your booth, products, and business activities all year round at an unlimited number of events — and covers your online sales.
Does annual coverage include product liability and other add-ons?
Yes, annual artisan insurance includes product liability coverage. It also gives you the option to add other coverages for an additional premium, including:
- Professional liability insurance
- Business personal property (or tools and equipment coverage)
- Cyber liability insurance
- Excess limits of liability
Can I add additional insureds?
Yes, you can add unlimited additional insureds for free on any artisan insurance policy with Insurance Canopy. Just log in to your online account to list your additional insureds at any time.
How fast can I get the COI?
You can get a Certificate of Insurance (COI) instantly when you buy a policy online. Get a quote for same-day coverage, complete your purchase, and download your COI in minutes.
With Insurance Canopy, downloading your COI and adding additional insureds is unlimited. You can be event ready at any moment without waiting for an email or phone call.
