Does this fit your business?

This is a federal insurance program, not a project grant: the NEA covers indemnity and exhibition insurance costs for domestic exhibitions of art and artifacts. It is for museums and similar institutions — nonprofits, colleges, and governments — that already stage exhibitions. For-profit businesses, including small businesses and sole proprietors, cannot apply and should not bother.

Best for
Museums and arts institutions mounting domestic exhibitions of art or artifacts, 501(c)(3) nonprofits in arts and cultural heritage, Colleges and universities with collections or galleries, State, local, and federally recognized tribal governments
Not for
For-profit businesses of any size, including sole proprietors and single-member LLCs, Organizations without domestic exhibitions of art or artifacts to insure
