We Are Adept At Arranging Nail-To-Nail Insurance For Exhibitions And Artworks Loans At Highly Competitive Premiums, And If Necessary At Short Notice.
The cover we arrange is broad enough to satisfy the most exacting lenders and borrowers, whether they be private collectors, independent museums, commercial galleries or national institutions.
Lenders of artwork on display nowadays expect insurance with no exclusions, no excess and full terrorism cover, all of which we provide as a matter of course. We specialise in artists' insurance for exhibitions.
Our experience and connections enable us to advise on State Indemnity schemes and related matters and, if necessary, to source appropriate legal advice for lenders and borrowers.
UK Government Indemnity
Hallett Independent fully endorses the UK Government Indemnity Scheme, which provides cover that lenders can rely upon while relieving cultural institutions of the costs associated with commercial insurance.
We are able to provide reassurance to lenders who are uncertain whether to accept Government Indemnity. Please contact us for an art exhibition insurance quote.

"It has been a pleasure to work with Hallett Independent on the Tercentenary Grinling Gibbons exhibitions. It was a large project with two different venues, complex loans, and very specific and varied conditions from private and public lenders. I had worked with Hallett on exhibition projects before and they have always been exceptional. They provide an excellent, comprehensive cover including terrorism which was an invariable in some projects. Their rates are competitive and they have always been able to adapt and to meet changing requirements as projects have evolved. They have an experienced, knowledgeable, dedicated and reliable team and I highly recommend them."
