Arts and Artifacts Indemnity is a program from the National Endowment for the Arts that provides federal indemnification against loss or damage for eligible art works, artifacts, and objects borrowed from abroad for exhibition in the United States, or borrowed domestically for exhibition in the U.S. The program reduces the cost of insuring international and domestic exhibitions by covering potential losses through the federal government rather than commercial insurance.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit museums, educational institutions, and other cultural organizations planning qualifying exhibitions. The NEA, an independent federal agency, annually recommends approximately 2,400 grants across all 50 states, Washington D. C.
, and U.S. territories, with a strong emphasis on supporting small and medium-sized organizations and high-poverty communities.
