When you are an artist, there are many things you can do to protect your creations once they are made and ready to be enjoyed. One of the biggest mistakes people make is when it comes to storing their art before it has to be shipped or given to whoever the final recipients are. The best option for artists is to use climate control storage in Los Angeles for their art pieces. There are many benefits you can enjoy too:
Humidity – one of the worst things for artwork, especially things lie paintings and photos, is to be exposed to moisture. This causes mold and mildew to form, can curl paper, and discolor paints. Climate controlled storage facilities keep humidity levels low and protects your art work.
Temperature – along those same lines, temperature is also a big deal as too high a temperature can make paint soften and stick to other paintings they are stored with and it can warp paper. Low temperatures can crack paint and damage sculptures as well. This is all avoided with climate control storage.
Vandalism – having your artwork stored in a secure location will also help to protect it against theft or vandalism. This is especially true when you have high value items that are waiting to be shipped, sold, or picked up. These facilities often have staffed security personal on site to protect customer’s items.
Natural Disasters – while no place it completely safe from natural disasters, there are places that are more resilient and durable when a disaster hits. Storage facilities are built to be stronger and more durable than other structures so valuable artwork will be safer there in the event something happens.
If you have valuable artwork you need to store, whether for a week or a few months, consider climate controlled storage options. Contact us here at Art Pack and we can help you find the solution that is best for you and your art!
