SUBJECT:  Insurance and Transportation Opportunities for Fine Art

In addition to our comprehensive exhibitions program, AFA Institutional
Members gain access to substantial discounts on fine arts insurance and
transportation through AFA's ARTSURE, VANGO, and AIRGO programs.Our
exclusive service providers include the most respected names in the field
like Huntington T. Block Insurance, Fine Arts Express, and
PerfecTransport. You may already be using these companies without taking
advantage of reduced rates that are only available through an AFA
Membership.

Our programs can enable you to direct more money into the galleries where
it belongs!  For example, through AFA's ARTSURE program just $100 can
provide $50,000 in insurance coverage for a six week exhibition (blanket
coverage is also available). Plus, there is a low $250 deductible.

I hope that we will have the privilege of working with you soon.
