A recent policy adjustment rollback by insurance provider QBE – the second this year – spares thousands of artists working on large-scale murals and public art projects from changes that would have left them uninsured or facing unaffordable premiums.
For over a decade, the insurer has provided a low-cost insurance package currently relied upon by almost 3000 National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) members and thousands more through a shared group policy administered by arts service organisations: Artsource (WA), Craft Victoria, Craft + Design Canberra (ACT), Flying Arts Alliance (Qld) and Guildhouse (SA).
