The Metuchen Area Chamber of Commerce 2016 Business Education Series continues Aug. 2 with a seminar titled “For the Arts Professional: What Kind of Insurance Do You Need to Protect Your Creative Assets?” presented by Edward van Eckert and Lawrence McCullough of the Edward van Eckert Farmers Insurance Agency.
The seminar takes place from 7:30-8:30 p.m. at Old Franklin Schoolhouse, 491 Middlesex Ave., Metuchen. There is no fee, but attendees must register by contacting the Chamber of Commerce at 732-548-2964 or metuchenchamber@optimum.net.
Mr. Van Eckert and Mr. McCullough will overview the variety of insurance coverages available to assist creative industry personnel — writers, dancers, stage and musical performers, teachers, promoters and producers, visual and media artists of all genres — in protecting their equipment, events, work spaces and intellectual property.
In addition to being licensed insurance professionals, both presenters are well-versed in business issues faced by the arts entrepreneur.
