7. DON\u2019T LEAVE YOUR ART IN A TUBE.
\nIf you\u2019re not ready to hang your art yet, definitely do not leave it rolled up in a protective cardboard tube. You always want to store your art flat. Acrylic paint or embellished paintings stored in tubes can become stained, cracked, or dried up if they\u2019re left rolled up for too long.<\/p>\n
8. KEEP YOUR STORED ARTWORK SEPARATED.
\nWhen you\u2019re storing multiple works of art, always keep something in between each work while they\u2019re laying flat. Place a 2- or 4-ply rag or conservation matboard cut 2 inches larger than the artwork in between each work. This will help protect the artwork from acidic damage, curling, and potential creasing.<\/p>\n
9. STORE ART IN A COOL, DRY, DARK PLACE.
\nPantry rules apply when you\u2019re trying to protect the unframed artwork. The best way to avoid damage from sunlight, humidity, and temperature fluctuations is to keep your art somewhere cool, dry, and dark.<\/p>\n
10. CONSIDER A SOLANDER BOX.
\nIf you want to be sure that your art stays protected, you might want to invest in a solander box. These are acid-free print boxes with hinged front panels that can be purchased from conservation suppliers.<\/p>\n
After acquiring Art, protection and conservation are important steps in keeping its value and beauty intact so you can enjoy it for many years to come, and pass it on to future generations.<\/p>\n
