Effective Storage Solutions for Canvas Rolls
The Sydney Art Store offers a range of high-quality canvas rolls for artists, along with a selection of storage solutions designed to maintain the longevity of your art materials.
How Can Artists Safely Store Finished Artwork?
Safely storing finished artwork is vital to preserve its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity over time. Paintings on canvas should ideally be stored vertically, using padded separators to prevent abrasions or pressure marks. Drawings and paper-based artwork require flat storage in acid-free portfolios or archival boxes to prevent yellowing and moisture damage. Framed artwork benefits from protective wraps or soft coverings to reduce dust accumulation and scratching. Proper ventilation in the storage space helps prevent mould and mildew growth, particularly in humid climates. Artists should also avoid stacking heavy pieces on top of delicate works to prevent distortion. With appropriate storage practices, artists can safeguard their creations, ensuring they remain vibrant and structurally sound for exhibitions, sales, or long-term display.

Archiving paper-based artwork requires precision and care to prevent fading, creasing, and yellowing. Artists should store works on paper in acid-free portfolios or archival boxes to minimise exposure to light, dust, and moisture. Flat storage is preferable for smaller pieces, while larger works can be carefully rolled with acid-free tissue paper for added protection. Temperature and humidity control are crucial for maintaining paper quality over time. When stacking paper-based artwork, protective sheets or tissue paper should be placed between each piece to prevent smudging or pigment transfer. Proper labelling also simplifies retrieval, particularly for artists with extensive collections. Thoughtful archiving ensures that delicate paper-based artwork remains in pristine condition for exhibitions, sales, or future reference.
