Known for its cultural diversity, Harlem is a place where art and creativity flow freely.
The artistic side of New York City’s most vibrant neighborhood is a lot of fun to explore, especially now that more and more art galleries and dealers are starting to move their headquarters there. Are you an art lover who feels like you are finally ready to move to Harlem but still unsure how to go about transporting your precious collection? These tips will guide you in the right direction and help make your experience as stress-free as possible.
Take a good look at your collection
If you have been accumulating works of art for a long time, you will have to do a fair amount of planning before moving your collection. Of course, throwing anything away is not an option. Art is incredibly valuable, and you cannot simply get rid of things you do not feel like moving. Therefore, the most crucial thing is to figure out how exactly you will transport your belongings. Will you do it in small portions or in bulk? Are you planning to spend one weekend on moving art, or do you prefer stretching the process over several days or weeks? It will all depend on the size of your collection, the amount of time you can dedicate to moving, and your moving budget.
Figure out a way to store your art
Have you already thought of where to store your collection in your new home? Keeping art at home is a great way to save money on storage. However, you cannot choose just any room in your home because it has to fit the requirements. What are they? Here is a mini-checklist you can follow to ensure you are not ruining your artwork collection by storing it the wrong way.
- No direct sunlight
- Isolated space
- Not too humid and not too dry
- Not too cold and not too hot
If you still do not have designated storage space for your art collection, or if you do not feel like keeping all of your collectibles at home, you can always rent an art storage unit.
Hire a professional art moving company
Moving all of your artwork on your own can not only seem overwhelming but also be dangerous. After all, you know better than anyone that art is delicate and untrained hands can easily damage it. Thankfully, professional art logistics companies are there to help you. Unlike regular movers, art shippers know how to pack, move, and install all kinds of art, so you do not need to worry about careless mistakes. There are a lot of companies providing art moving services in NYC, which will collect your art from anywhere in the US and deliver it to your new place in Harlem safely.
Bringing beautiful works of art to your new home is a great way to make a new space really feel like home. Besides, Harlem is a very welcoming and friendly neighborhood, so you will settle down in no time. Good luck!
