Moody Jones Gallery of Glenside is hosting a continuation of “Collectors Thursday,” an evening dedicated to art collectors and enthusiasts eager to deepen their understanding of art acquisition and preservation, on Thursday, November 21 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

Understanding the Cost to Collect
Collecting fine art goes beyond the acquisition of pieces and includes essential considerations like insurance, shipping, restoration, and framing—all integral to ensuring the longevity of an artwork. These factors are crucial to not only preserving a collection but also enhancing its value and significance over time. “Collectors Thursday” will delve into these critical elements, providing attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the true cost and responsibilities associated with collecting.

Preservation as Priority
Art preservation varies significantly depending on the medium, with unique methods and requirements to maintain each piece’s integrity. MoodyJones Gallery owner Adrian Moody will be joined by Jeramie Willford of Framers Workroom in Jenkintown, PA  to discuss their personal practices for preserving and safeguarding their collections. This conversation will cover best practices for caring for different types of artwork and underscore the importance of understanding preservation techniques as an essential component of the collecting journey.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with fellow collectors, gain insights on preserving art, and ask questions about the considerations that contribute to a well-maintained, long-lasting collection.
