Art handler

Art handlers move, install, and care for artworks and objects. The work is physical and precise: packing, transporting, installing, and de-installing artworks, handling valuable and fragile pieces safely, building mounts and displays, and ensuring objects are moved and shown without damage.

They work for museums, galleries, and art services. The role suits careful, skilled, physically capable people who can handle valuable and fragile artworks safely, install and move them precisely, build mounts and displays, follow strict handling procedures, and combine physical skill with the meticulous care that handling irreplaceable art and objects requires.
