Do I need a drying rack?

What is the best way to organize student artwork?

Many schools have art rooms that are frequented by multiple classes over the course of the day. With so many students doing projects, an art room can easily become crowded with paintings. An art drying rack enables each piece to get the right ventilation without taking over every available surface in the room. It gives students an appropriate place to keep their work so they will know exactly where it is when they want to come and pick it up.

How can you prevent artwork from getting damaged?

When pictures are stored in a place that is specially designed for this purpose, they are less likely to become damaged. However, when they are left out in the open, spills and other accidents are much more likely to occur. By providing an individual space for each work, you also ensure that similar projects won't get mixed up. Drying racks are designed with enough space in between each shelf to allow for quick drying, and prevent projects from getting stuck or damaging each other.
