Required Insurance
You need protection from the unexpected.
Insurance Requirements
After acceptance into an event, with the exception of Sierra Arts Festival, we require both a Certificate of Insurance with minimum General Liability coverage limits of $1,000,000 each occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate and an Additional Insured naming Pacific Fine Arts Festivals, its agents, employees, sub-contractors and volunteers as Additional Insured.
Please don’t send an “insurance binder.” Wait for the actual Certificate of Insurance and Additional Insured Endorsement page to send to us. Submit the items with your name/business name by email or USPS to pfa@pacificfinearts.com or PO Box 280, Pine Grove, CA 95665.

A Few Tips on obtaining insurance
CONVENIENCE
There is some convenience using actinsurance.com. We upload each event to their site so when you purchase your per-event or year policy, you can select the event/s in which you’ll participate and ACT Insurance will produce what we need.
Otherwise, we have found that artists are having the most success when they can speak directly to their insurance agent and forward the information below and the linked document.

- The following language must be on the Certificate of Insurance in the “Description of Operations” box: “Pacific Fine Arts Festivals, its agents, employees, sub-contractors and volunteers are named Additional Insured pursuant to endorsement CG2026 0413 attached.”

2. Pacific Fine Arts Festivals named as Additional Insured (form #CG2026)
- The Additional Insured Endorsement page must be included with the Certificate of Liability Insurance.
