Abstract
The present invention is an art hanging system that uses a drywall anchor combined with monofilament to create a nearly invisible ceiling hangar. The monofilament is fed through the low profile drywall anchor, and tied to an anchor such that when force is applied to the monofilament, the anchor flattens and grabs the ceiling or wall panel. The plastic interior face of the anchor is low profile and transparent such that it presents limited visual distraction to the ceiling plane.
