Specialty Insurance Agency (SIA) is a boutique insurance agency servicing performers, vendors, and event planners across the United States since 1992. Think mimes and mermaids, fire performers and aerialists – or food trucks and farm stands, artisan crafters and kettle korn booths. SIA clients often have specific, unique needs for their businesses, which means they aren’t your average insurance agents. Since their clients are extraordinary, they must be as well.

Liability insurance for performers is one of those topics that isn’t widely discussed in our industry. And even when it is discussed amongst peers and performers, it’s difficult to know if the advice you’re receiving will fit your own needs as an independent performing artist. Realistically, the right policy for you will look different to the person’s next to you, depending on your act, equipment, travel frequency, and other factors.

One of our core beliefs at CircusTalk is equal access to industry knowledge and information like this, which is why we’re excited to present this advice mini-series from Specialty Insurance Agency to our members. In this first of two sessions, meet the experts of the SIA team and prepare to take notes on coverage options, and details and examples of what may or may not be covered. The second session will be published next Friday, covering safety tips and insurance questions that performers should be asking when booking gigs. So don’t forget to follow up!
