What is artcare?

Artcare products bring conservation framing into the 21st century.

Unlike standard conservation products that are engineered to “do no harm” to images, Artcare products are designed to actively protect images from today’s threats. Threats can include indoor and outdoor air pollution, cleaning products, and even by-products from the image’s own natural aging.

Over time, these harmful gases cause art and photos to fade, yellow, or even deteriorate. We’ve all seen this happen, but now there’s a way to prevent the irreparable ravages of time.

Technology that safeguards your keepsakes.

Just like antioxidants protect your skin from damaging substances, Artcare protects your keepsakes from harmful gases in the air. Natural minerals, called zeolites, trap and hold these gases, keeping them away from your cherished heirlooms forever.

Conservation framing proven by leading scientists and trusted worldwide.

Our products have been tested and validated at the Getty Institute of Conservation and the U.S. Library of Congress. For over two decades, conservators and preservation specialists around the world have made Artcare their standard for preserving our cultural heritage. Now you can do the same!

See where Artcare has been used.

Priceless images and documents are already protected by Artcare. Conservationists and museums have trusted Artcare with preserving some of our nation’s most important artifacts. These include George Washington’s Last Will and Testament, the original Wright Brothers Bi-Plane drawings, and plant specimens from the Lewis and Clark exhibition.
