Painters Tip
Protect Yourself
For those of you who are thinking about opening your studio to visitors or teaching classes, you must protect yourself against liabilities,theft,and lawsuits.
Check into getting studio insurance and public liability insurance. To me it is a necessary evil to write that check every year. I have clients and students in and out of my studio all the time. There is always the possibility of injury or theft. A fall or broken bone can cost thousands of dollars.
Do not assume your homeowner's or renter's insurance will cover you because when you run a business as an artist, it won't. If you do not have an open studio where friends, clients, or students come, then you will not need the liability insurance, but you will need protection against theft.
If you have people coming in and out, be sure that you take precautions around the studio with chemicals, flooring, steps, lighting, to protect yourself and others from harm.
I do not encourage visitors to bring their small children to my studio because it is not child proofed. I do not teach children so it's not a great idea to have them hanging around where oil paints and solvents are sitting out on tables. If you teach children's classes, you will need to be very careful about what is around the studio. Believe me, if they can get into it, they will.
If you have hard floors, use restaurant rubber mats, not rugs on the floor. Rugs are easily tripped over. Keep debris picked up, the trash emptied and objects put away. Keep walking paths clear of sharp or breakable objects. A neat studio is easier to manage with people coming in and out, and safer.
