Helping artists

preserve their story.

Creating organizational solutions for professional artists, tailored to their speciality & goals.

What is archiving?

“A place in which public records or historical materials are preserved” is how Webster defines archiving. Simply put, Vita Archives offers professional organization and preservation solutions to artists in their mid to late careers, so their work can be easy to access and protected in the future.

Why is archiving necessary?

Often, the level of accessibility to an artist’s records determines the bandwidth of their legacy. Andrew Wyeth is a modern example. We would not have the knowledge of or access to his work if it was not for one person–someone who had the passion, skill, and time for the task of organizing his career. This person was his wife, Betsy Wyeth. It was Betsy who catalyzed Wyeth’s legacy into renown, past being just an illustrator’s kid. The same is true of Irish poet, W.B. Yeats: he had a loved one in his life who preserved the poetry millions of people read today. If materials are not preserved, they decay. If papers are not ordered, they become lost. Archiving is vital because preservation is vital.

 What Your Art Deserves

Great art deserves great care. Great care requires:

Passion. Your work deserves to be handled by an art lover and a thorough understanding of the inner workings of the professional, ever-evolving art world.

Skill. Your work deserves to be organized by someone with exceptional organizational abilities and knowledge of the highest-quality storage solutions.

Time. Your work deserves time! Your career reflects years of studio hours, research, travel, gallery experience, teaching, and more. The quality of your archives should reflect the quality of such a legacy. Archives are not built overnight. They demand days of preparation, planning, and multiple rounds of sorting, filing, labeling and storage that’s both protective and easy to access. Your career deserves dedicated and careful decisions if it is going to be available to others in the present and future.
