My studio is a separate building on our property and our homeowners insurance has covered it for the past several years though not as a working studio business. When we inquired recently into upgrading the coverage because of my holding workshops there, I found out that in fact, I need a separate policy with a different company, since it is a considered a business. <br />I Gwendolyn Plunketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665457019924209613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-70420830248919628442011-03-21T10:50:39.257-04:002011-03-21T10:50:39.257-04:00Thank you for initiating this discussion, Joanne. ...Thank you for initiating this discussion, Joanne.

Artwork in posession of the artist has no value other than the cost of the materials involved. It appears that only when a 3rd party gets involved (art handlers, gallery consignment, death of the artist) that the commodity has market value and thus is taxable andChristopher Pelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317749799935442635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-43845804995891674362011-03-21T08:07:20.981-04:002011-03-21T08:07:20.981-04:00I'll pass this on because it may be of value. ...I'll pass this on because it may be of value.
