Welfare Assistance, Insurances and AID

AIE members are entitled to accident insurance. This insurance responds to the conditions and requirements of the performers collective. Therefore, all members may benefit from a collective accident insurance policy free of charge provided by Zurich, which also covers death and permanent disability caused by accident.

Additionally, AIE members over the age of 70 are entitled to an accident insurance cover free of charge provided by Metlife, which comprises several social and welfare benefits for members aged between 80 and 85.

Members wanting to take out an extended coverage insurance may benefit from a discount of 30%. For more information click here.

The Board of Directors of AIE has worked hard to provide a new service for AIE members which enables them to take out a multi-insurance for musical instruments with Zurich under very favourable conditions with respect to market prices. This insurance, exclusive for AIE members, provides coverage for musical instruments and electronic and sound equipment.

Musical instruments are insured during the stay and/or transport anywhere and in any situation within the national territory, and not necessarily in the event of rehearsals, tours or concerts. After timely notification prior to the journey, the insurance coverage can be extended to other countries through the corresponding additional payment.

Insured objects may be transported by any of the following means: motor vehicles, railway, aircraft and ship.

You can find all information in this link or by clicking here.

Los socios de AIE también se podrán beneficiar de Clave de Sol, un Seguro de Instrumentos Musicales que ofrece Mercaseguros.com. Se trata del único seguro de instrumentos musicales en España que asegura a valor concertado (el valor del instrumento lo fijas tú) sin depreciaciones por antigüedad o franquicias, que cubre el hurto y que te compensa en caso de pérdida de valor de tu instrumento después de un siniestro. Un seguro a todo riesgo que, además, permite incluir en la misma póliza todos los instrumentos y los complementos como: boquillas, fundas, etc. Si durante un viaje se produce pérdida o daños, envían a cualquier punto del país en un instrumento de sustitución. En caso de no ser posible, pagarían el alquiler de éste para que se pueda celebrar el evento.

We provide personal support to all members in our facilities thanks to our Membership Department and to the team of professionals that shapes AIE, whose vocation is to offer a permanent service to affiliates.

SUPPORTING PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS TO IMPROVE THE WORKING CONDITIONS OF MUSICIANS

One of the most worrying professional matters for AIE is the visible lack of social security suffered endemically by musicians and artists. Until now, such shortage has been alleviated individually by musicians themselves in a burdensome way and with a high risk for their post-working life. Therefore, AIE continues working hand in hand with professional associations and cooperatives to develop and establish a NORMALIZATION FRAMEWORK FOR ACTIVE AND PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS, as well as to create new cooperatives across the Spanish geography.

OTHER SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

AIE has collaborated with several professional associations whose activities are focused on the improvement of the social conditions of musicians and performers in different regions, such as: ACAM (Composers and Authors Association of Costa Rica), AMA (Associated Music Authors), AMPE (Spanish Association of Professional Musicians), AMPOS (Spanish Association of Professional Symphony Orchestra Performers), ARTE (Association of Performing Technical Representatives), Associació Catalana de Compositors, Associació de Musics de Jazz i Música Moderna de Cataluña AMJM, Associació de Músics de Tarragona, FEMA (Associated Performers Federation), JAM (Board of Music Authors), MUSXXI (Músicos Unidos Siglo XXI), Associació Professional de Músics de Catalunya MUSICAT, Músicos Ao Vivo (Professional Performers Association of Galicia), UFI (Independent Phonographic Union), Association of Professional Performers of the Canary Islands, Círculo Musical Recreativo, Música en Vena, Casa del Artista Association of Valencia, Mundo Mayor Music Festival: Music against Alzheimer and Proyecto MIR – Música en Vena.

Given the precariousness of social benefits and services for musicians, AIE dedicates a growing portion of its assistance resources to Assistance-Aid programs for applicants with urgent needs who are facing a precarious financial situation, mainly due to their advanced age or to serious medical conditions.

AIE provides a Social Care Service to inform applicants of the necessary procedures and formalities to apply for assistance, as well as to ensure personal guidance and orientation on further AIE assistance programs.

Read the instructions to apply for an assistance-aid program (PDF).

SOCIAL GUIDANCE BOX

Since 2014, AIE members have access to an ‘assistance consultation inbox’ (in their Virtual Office area for requests) meant to provide a technical counselling service on internal and external social resources and to offer personal and individual attention for each situation while analyzing all available resources.

AIE is deeply committed to the needs of our elder members who, given their financial and health circumstances, constitute a particularly vulnerable sector. Therefore, through AIE Assistance and Cultural Fund, we provide our members with information and specialized services which might be useful:
