Stacy was exactly what I needed. Really glad we connected. I own an art handling company and all my people are on jobs for Basel in Miami. We had a big installation in Tampa, so I drove up solo with the hopes of finding someone exactly like her. I'll definitely reach out to Stacy again in the future.

Top Art Moving related questions

Shipping art in the US typically costs $100 to $500, depending on size, weight, fragility, distance, and whether custom crating is required. High-value or oversized works may exceed $1,000 due to specialized packing, insurance, and climate-controlled transport. Local art movers on Airtasker may offer more flexible pricing options.

Yes, $20 is acceptable for small or quick jobs like transporting a single painting. For larger moves or high-value fine art transportation, many people tip 10–20% of the total cost, especially if the movers handled fragile items or heavy art pieces with care.

Weekdays—especially Monday through Thursday—are generally the cheapest days to hire movers. Weekends fill up fast and usually come with higher rates due to demand.

A reasonable budget for hiring art movers ranges from $150 to $800 for local tasks, depending on the number of pieces, complexity, and packing needs. For premium services like custom crating, long-distance transport, or handling valuable works and museum-grade items, budgets often increase.

An art courier is a mover or transportation specialist trained to safely transport artwork. They handle packing, crating, loading, climate-sensitive transit, and safe delivery with a focus on preventing damage to valuable or fragile pieces.

Watch out for movers who offer vague pricing, lack protective materials, avoid answering questions, have no reviews, or show up without proper equipment. Reliable fine art movers should be transparent, communicative, and fully equipped to handle delicate items with care.

What do art moving services include?

Art moving on Airtasker goes beyond simply picking up a painting and loading it onto a truck. Artists and collectors alike can find skilled artwork movers who specialize in protecting valuable pieces through every step of the journey, from careful packing and custom crating to secure art transport and unloading at the final destination.

If you’re coordinating a studio relocation, transferring pieces to a gallery, or moving valuable family heirlooms as a private collector, Taskers can help ensure that your items are safely and professionally handled. They're prepared to accommodate the unique needs of clients. Here’s what you can typically book through Airtasker:

Packing and protective wrapping for artwork

Professional art movers know that proper packing is half the job of art logistics solutions. If needed, you can ask your Taskers to provide packing and protective wrapping on top of your art moving service. 

This may include wrapping canvases, framed pieces, sculptures, and mixed-media artworks using acid-free materials, glassine, foam corner protectors, bubble wrap, and other museum-grade supplies with careful detail and quality.

For fragile or high-value items, expert art handlers may reinforce artwork with cardboard sleeves or crate-ready padding. These prevent scratches, vibration damage, and moisture exposure during fine art transportation.

Custom art crating and specialized art packaging

For oversized or unusually shaped pieces, you can book Taskers who can provide custom crating and white glove delivery. Some Taskers may be able to build on-the-spot wooden crates, reinforced boxes, or fitted foam housing to keep artwork stable during transit.

This service is particularly helpful for sculptures, antiques, installation art, or pieces that require extra structural support. Many private art collectors request custom crating from art handlers when transporting pieces across long distances or shipping items interstate.

Safe artwork loading, transportation, and unloading

Airtasker connects you with artwork movers who know how to safely load and secure pieces using straps, blankets, anchors, and no-shift positioning. For both local art transport and long-distance moving, Taskers can help ensure your items stay protected from bumps, drops, and sudden shifts. They’ll also handle careful unloading, placement, or temporary staging at your destination, which is useful for gallery setups or studio rearrangements.

Artwork installation and setup assistance

If you need help setting up your artwork after the move, you can request installation support when posting your task. Some Taskers may assist with hanging framed pieces, mounting sculptures, or positioning large artworks for display. They may bring levelers, anchors, hooks, and other hardware. 

If you need help preparing a space before an exhibit or want assistance placing artwork in your home, you can also find Taskers who can help with the finishing touches.

Handling oversized or delicate art pieces

Fine art movers on Airtasker can help relocate extra-large canvases, glass artworks, mixed-media pieces, stone sculptures, or fragile vintage items. They can also collaborate with additional Taskers for heavy lifting, coordinate tight hallway navigation, or provide padding and protective barriers for challenging spaces.

If you’re moving other special items like professional pianos, pool tables, or antiques, you can also get moving help through Airtasker.
