A few weeks ago I attended a workshop focused on archiving for artists. The workshop was super cool; the hosts provided so much information on the many ways to archive artwork. I felt that taking the workshop now versus years down the road would be better because years from now I’ll have a ton more artwork that I need to figure out how to properly store/archive.

The physical storage of artwork (containers vary in their ability to protect artwork from dust, moisture, critters, etc.); effective digitization of my archive; and having an established archiving system that works for me are some of the topics I found most valuable for my practice. I would definitely recommend this workshop to other artists! Speaking of which…
