Hi everyone,

I am working on a proposal for a pop-up art venue located in a vacant shop in Hackney.
The council have given me an application form to fill out in which I need to outline the project, but they also ask for some supporting documents including a copy of Public Liability Insurance. I am a recent graduate and do not have any! Furthermore, the application has not been approved so I wouldn't know what/if I am insuring against!
I'm a bit confused- can anyone shed any light on the matter?

I did email them once querying it and got back an email saying I needed the insurance. I've since emailed back asking them to clarify but have heard nothing, and time is getting short.

Thanks!

Hannah

Hi Hannah
Your simplest option is to join AN Maganzine at about £36 pa and subscribe to Air as a practicing artist - this way you get attached Hencilla Cartwright Public Liability Insurance up to the amount of 5 million . Once you've got it check that this amount covers the activities your going to do coz some do expect 10 million - but I've never had to have that amount. Hencilla will happily advise and check that you're suitably covered for the activites. Also you'll need to carry out risk assessments to validate that you've avoided the obvious - things like fire-proofing etc.. I run a project up in Cumbria in empty shops so have got pretty savvied as times gone on.
Good Luck to you & All the best

Thanks Caroline, that's really helpful, and that's exactly what I'll do.
Best wishes,

Hannah,

I'm also living in the Hackney area, I was looking into making a submission for the vacant shop scheme.

I have some experience in submissions of this nature and im wondering if i could either assist you or team up in a proposal.

please let me know if this may be possible.

cheers
