How to store canvases?

Question for painters and artists out there:

How do you store your finished artwork? I have several canvases and wooden plaques that are waiting to be sold, and I don't have a great plan of how to safely store them right now. I have been stacking them in a spare closet, but the more I add, the more afraid I am of damaging a piece of art.

Does anyone have a vertical storage system or other ideas? I need your clever ideas!

Thanks in advance!

Re: How to store canvases?

I don't do art, but if I have items that are fragile or at risk of being damaged, I go ahead and package them for shipping and write what the item is on the package. Once it sells, off it goes. Maybe you could package them up partially. It'll be one step ahead for when it sells and they'll be properly protected. Of course, if you travel with them to art shows, etc, this plan is out the window :)

I paint on canvas panels now because of storage issues (also safer and cheaper to ship) but I reccomend wrapping finished work in wax or parchment paper while storing. When I was doing stretched canvas I stored via hanging them around the house, but ran out of places to hang!

Re: How to store canvases?

I primarily store things by hanging them on my walls lol. Especially my ornaments..I have a few corkboards hanging up when I keep all of my premade ornaments until they get sold. I'm in a small apartment and hardly have any storage space as it is, so the walls seem to be my best option!
