Best way to store art?, by Artfan13 on Apr 17, 2017 15:01:52 GMT 1, Hi all,
I am gradually running out of space on my walls and so may have to start storing some of the art that I have. What is the best way to do this....flat or rolled? Also if flat can someone recommend a 'folder' or something they use for this purpose?
Many thanks!

Best way to store art?, by Dust Buster on Apr 17, 2017 15:45:49 GMT 1, For prints that aren't super valuable I use these 18x24 inch portfolios and to keep them stiff keep the portfolios in these portfolio bags.
I haven't found portfolio books larger than that, so I'm also looking for a good way to store those, but this is an inexpensive way to store at least some of your prints and not take up a lot of space.

larger / expensive prints (24 x 36in) = picturesque presentation cases ... although i've heard rumors they stopped making them.
larger than 24 x 36 = 30 x 40 archival print protector mylar sleeves
larger than 30 x 40 = acid free foamcore board with regular office document clips to keep them closed
other options = flat file

Best way to store art?, by Flashback on Apr 17, 2017 16:52:44 GMT 1, I bought multiple ring binder cases (A1-A4) and the acid free sleeves for them from here -
quickdrawsupplies
For larger prints I bought these sleeves which are larger than A0 - Blueprint sleeves
Although it doesn't mention that they are acid free in the description, they confirmed to me that they are.
I taped one side of the cardboard containing the A1 folder together and put the A0+ sleeves in it like a sandwich and just stuck it under the bed:) Will do me until I get around to buying an A0 folder.
Only thing to note is that the A0+sleeves don't come with acid free paper dividers to put 2 prints in back to back. Should be easy enough to buy them separately somewhere else though.
