Performing Arts Companies

Have you been paying lip service to insurance? Now’s the time to engage!

In the arts, the show must always go on – insurance isn’t just about processing a claim, it’s about thinking laterally to solve challenges and problems fast. By supporting you with specialist cover and sound risk management advice, La Playa can help you do a great job.

The arts present a very specific set of risk exposures – and now your digital and online risks can expose you globally. At La Playa, we’re passionate about the arts and creative industries – many of us are practitioners and active consumers; in fact, La Playa founded the first ever corporate art collective!

Why work with a specialist broker?

1. We understand the risks and pressures you face – we speak your language
2. You’ll get the right cover where you need it – and NOT where you don’t
3. You’ll feel supported with expert advice to help you make the right insurance decisions
4. Our specialist ‘umbrella’ policies are designed to prevent gaps and expensive duplications between policies

What if...

...A volunteer is injured whilst working for you?
...Hired-in equipment gets damaged?
...You lose access to a venue?
...An audience member suffers from food poisoning from your caterer?

We can help with insurance for:

• Property: computers, sheet music, audio visual equipment, offices, props, stock and musical instruments
• Consequential Loss: protects income streams during physical and technological disruptions (fire, flood, power & telecommunications failure, prevention of access to venue, failure of safety curtain and lighting)
• General Liabilities: compensation payments arising from damage to third party property or personal injury (audiences and venues)
• Workers Compensation: compensation payments arising from injury to employees and volunteers
• Money: box office income, per diems, merchandise/program cash
• Travel & Touring: trip cancellation, medical expenses, passport replacement, loss of baggage
• Cancellation: cover against performer non appearance of artists, venue closure and other production-threatening events
• Errors & Omissions: protects against allegations of negligent advice from your website and in a consultancy capacity, breach of duty or mismanagement
• Trustee Liability: protection for your board, who are personally liable for the organization's decisions

We understand you so well, we’ll complete the form for you if you prefer! Let’s talk…
