How to Care for Acrylic Artwork: 10 Tips
1. Use Plexiglass
This is important because glass tends to scratch easily. Acrylic paintings can be displayed on glass, but only if you use plexiglass or acrylic instead.
2. Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Extreme temperatures, either hot or cold, can warp or crack acrylic paintings. You should store them in a room that has normal levels of temperature and humidity; do not place them in an attic or basement where the temperature changes frequently.
3. Display It Outdoors
Acrylic paintings are best displayed outdoors where they can benefit from natural light and air flow. This helps to keep it from fading or yellowing over time. If you must display it indoors, use UV protection to keep it from fading when exposed to bright lighting and fluorescent lights. Also make sure the artwork isn’t too close to heating vents or direct sunlight that could cause fading over time.

Acrylic artwork is very durable and can last for many years if you take good care of it. You will find that caring for your acrylic art is not difficult, but it is necessary. The following are some tips that you can use to keep your acrylic artwork in good condition.
1. Use a Vacuum Cleaner. If you have a lot of acrylic artwork, you will want to use a vacuum cleaner to pick up dust and dirt that accumulates on your artwork. Make sure to use the soft brush attachment to gently dust off any dirt that is stuck on the surface of the artwork so that it doesn’t scratch or damage the painting.
2. Have Your Acrylic Artwork Professionally Framed. You can keep your acrylic art safe by having it professionally framed so that no one can touch it or bump into it without damaging it.
3. Use Glass Eyes to Protect Your Acrylic Painting from Scratching and Damage. If you have any paintings with glass eyes, be sure they are properly attached so they don’t fall out while someone is handling or moving your painting. This will help prevent rust from forming in the metal eyelet holes where the eyes were originally placed in your painting and cause warping or scratching of your acrylic painting over time.
Three elements that can harm artwork are lighting, dust and temperature. Prolonged exposure to any of these elements or to extreme variations in temperature can cause irreparable harm to your artwork.
You should also avoid placing your acrylic artwork in direct sunlight. When exposed to light, the colors may fade and the artwork itself may crack or warp. The same is true for moisture, so you should make sure there are no sources of dampness or humidity in the area where you plan to display your art.
In addition, a piece of acrylic artwork may become scratched if it is placed directly against another piece of acrylic. Protect the surface of your artwork by using a Plexiglas or similar sheet between each piece. You can also use a sheet of protective paper on top of the Plexiglas to help prevent scratches.*
Acrylic painting is not difficult to do but it does require planning and preparation before you start. Make sure that you have enough paint and canvas before you begin and try to be organized as you work.*

Thanks for the reminder that plexiglass can also be good to consider when protecting acrylic paintings. I’m interested in looking for a good acrylic painting to display in my living room because one of the walls there feel a little empty. A little splash of color there would be great to have to break the whiteness of the walls.
