Proper Art Storage


Aside from the obvious dangers of storing art like bending or general damage how should you store your art?


There are a few factors that you need to think with when you think about safely storing artwork, and they are: humidity, heat, light, and air pollution.


In storing art, we are trying to avoid mold growth, the paper becoming brittle and the ink or paint colors remaining intact and not fading.
