A great way to manage entryway clutter is to look for areas around your front door (or garage door if that’s where you enter the house) where you can “go vertical” and add hooks and shelves to the wall to get personal items up off the floor, creating a zone for each person so they know where their things go.
Consider a painting rack to store framed artwork on, wrap paintings in plastic to keep moisture out. For unframed art you can lay them in an archival box with acid free tissue paper between pieces. The basement and attic can be easy and tempting places to store art, but with temperature changes and moisture potential this may cause more damage. If you need to stack the paintings place padding in-between each piece to protect them.
