Hanging Artwork
Magnetic art hanging systems offer a modern, non-invasive way to display artworks in homes, galleries, offices, and schools. Magnets provide an easy, reusable, and clean alternative to hooks, nails, and screws, making them ideal for spaces where displays change regularly.
Many artists, galleries, and exhibition spaces now rely on magnetic mounting methods for simple, economical, and wall-safe art installation. Using magnets eliminates wall damage and allows artwork to be repositioned or replaced quickly. Neodymium disc and cylinder magnets are extremely strong magnets and the most suitable for this purpose.
How to Hang Pictures and Prints with Magnets
Techniques for hanging artwork magnetically can be varied and usually depend on the size and weight of the artwork you want to display. Heavy-duty rare earth disc magnets may be needed for hanging large art pieces in some circumstances while others may require the use of super-strong Neodymium cylinder magnets or the especially prepackaged Magnart product. Magnart is a ready-made magnetic art hanging kit that contains everything you need to magnetically attach the artwork to any type of wall surface. The kits include cylinder magnets, metal tabs, double-sided adhesive and plastic caps to prevent damage to surfaces. The Magnart system is designed to be reusable to provide both convenience and economy. No matter which technique you choose, in most cases, you will need to establish a metal surface on the wall for the magnets to bond with. This can be done with a self-adhesive metal tab, a glued or screwed-on steel washer or with adhesive-backed metal tape, all of which are available for purchase on the AMF website.
Neodymium Pot magnets with hooks can also be used to hang artwork from steel surfaces.
FAQs
Can I hang art on the wall using magnets?
Magnets are an excellent, non-invasive option for attaching art to walls. AMF supplies metal tabs and double-sided adhesive-backed tape that can be used to create a contact point on walls for magnets to bond with. They are sold in packets of 8 each. Also, consider our Magnart kits which are available in a range of sizes and provide everything you need to hang art magnetically. You can also use a steel non-magnetic strip to hang artwork. This steel tape has an adhesive backing so it attaches to the wall. Cut the steel strip to match, or be a little shorter than the width of your artwork and attach it to the wall with the adhesive backing. Use one or more strips depending on the weight of your artwork. Magnets glued to the back of your artwork can then attach magnetically to the wall-mounted metal strip. Recess the magnets flush for a flat look or fit them a little proud to create a shadow on the wall.
