FY 2027 guidelines expected by mid-summer 2026. Recurring federal program.
Arts and Artifacts Indemnity is a program from the National Endowment for the Arts that provides federal indemnification against loss or damage for eligible artworks, artifacts, and objects featured in domestic and international exhibitions. Rather than cash grants, the program offers government-backed insurance coverage, reducing the cost of commercial insurance for major art exhibitions.
Eligible applicants are federal, state, and local governments, tribal entities, and nonprofit agencies organizing qualifying art exhibitions. FY 2027 program guidelines are anticipated to be published by mid-summer 2026.
