Caring for Your Art: 

Taking proper care of your art ensures it remains beautiful and intact for decades. Whether it’s a canvas, print, or paper, follow these essential guidelines to preserve its condition over time.

Do:

• Display in a Stable Environment: Choose a location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture, as these can cause fading, warping, or mold over time.
• Dust Regularly: Use a clean, soft, dry cloth (like microfiber) to gently remove dust. Regular maintenance prevents buildup that can degrade the surface. Avoid water or cleaning solutions, as they may damage the paper or ink.
• Ensure Good Air Circulation: Especially for canvas or paper-based artwork, a well-ventilated space helps prevent issues related to humidity.
• Storage: For long-term storage, keep prints flat in a cool, dry, dark place.

Don't:

• Avoid Direct Sunlight & Humidity: Never place your art near windows, radiators, air conditioners, or in damp areas like bathrooms or basements.
• Don’t Use Damp Cloths: Moisture can damage inks, paints, or paper. Stick to dry dusting only.
• Avoid Framing Canvas Art Behind Glass: Canvas needs to “breathe.” Sealing it behind glass can trap moisture and cause deterioration.
• Keep Sharp Objects Away: Avoid placing items like keys, scissors, or metal decor near your artwork to prevent accidental scratches or punctures.
• Avoid Folding or Rolling: Never fold or roll prints. Store them flat or in a rigid, protective container to prevent creases or tears.
