Everything has a connection and a direction.\u00a0 It all started one day while I was riding my Trek road bike on a 70-mile ride on the back roads of Piermont NY.\u00a0 I always pass a sign which read: Open studio visits and Gallery. As I passed by I decided to stop and check it out. The driveway hill was an 11.5% grade, not fun on the bike but “Art” cheered me on!<\/p>\n

I was met by “The Art Student League” Artist in residence program director Gary L. Sussman.\u00a0 Many cyclists ride by, but it seems very few stop by, especially Art Insurance Consultants.<\/p>\n

The Artists residence grounds\u00a0are amazing. As I approached, I saw many buildings, a big barn, studio spaces and very nice living quarters.\u00a0 Mr. Sussman explained to me the artist residency program which is pretty comprehensive. 100% of the artists are on full scholarship, no worries of cost, so they can fully focus on the creative process and the artistic energy to experiment and make amazing ART.<\/p>\n

I explained to Sussman, a New Insurance program\u00a0I had developed just for Artists, an\u00a0Artist Transit\/Exhibition\/Studio Insurance Program\u00a0<\/a> that insures the finished art piece, percentage of finished in the process of a new piece of Art, while the artwork is at Exhibitions and while in transit, along with libraries and materials.<\/p>\n

I further explained to him, what the nicest part about this policy is, there is no schedule, list, or inventory required of values at the time of placing the insurance but is required at the time of loss to prove what the current value is because the settlement is based on current market value minus 30%. \u00a0To establish the value at loss time, the artist would substantiate the claim by using previous sales, time and materials to create, photos and other tools which would justify the claim.<\/p>\n

The key points of the policy are no schedule, the flexibility to have work made then displayed, Insuring work while in the studio, storage, transit and art shows. These Include materials, reference libraries, and tools.<\/p>\n
