Here are some ways to hang art on a brick or concrete wall, both temporarily and permanently.
Mounting Putty
This sticky material is easy to handle: Simply roll it into a ball and stick it on the back of the artwork, then adhere it to the wall. Mounting putty is best for lightweight items such as drawings or posters.
Self-Adhesive Hooks
A strong adhesive on the backs of these plastic and metal hooks allows you to easily place, move and remove them. These hooks are best for items up to 5 pounds.
Concrete Screws
These screws are made with chiseled edges that cut threads into masonry material. You can hang a large (up to 750 pounds) piece of artwork without worry.
Expansion Bolts
Expansion bolts are another permanent option for hanging items on a brick or concrete wall. They feature a spring-loaded “wing” that fits into a pre-drilled hole and can hold up to 800 pounds.
