A paintbrush protection and revitalization system includes a case having a paintbrush support shelf with graduated bristle support projections and tapered tip support therein. The case has auto-convection ports, an air induction port and a brush insertion port. The auto-convection ports include at least one air inlet port and at least one water vapor exchange port for reducing drying time of a paintbrush contained within the case. A living hinge connects a cover to the case with the case, the cover and the living hinge being an integrally-molded unit, which is preferably made of plastic.
