Square Edge is A Creative Centre for Emerging Artists in Palmerston North

Our Mission is to sustainably manage and develop Square Edge to provide emerging artists in the Palmerston North Community with low cost access to arts spaces.


Square Edge supports emerging artists from all ages, social and cultural backgrounds providing cost effective/affordable studio space, professional arts spaces - including performance areas, rehearsal rooms, movie theatre, dance studio and exhibition gallery space for short-term hire. Our ground floor houses Cafe Royale, arts retail, exhibition space and a theatre. We partner the Artist in Residence scheme in partnership with Massey University and The PNCC.

Spaces:

2 Gallery exhibition spaces
16 Artist Studios
The Loft Dance Studio
Evelyn Rawlins Room
The FX2 Movie & Performance Theatre


History:
Square Edge has been the focus of artistic talent in Palmerston North for over 25years. It is conveniently located in the southern corner of the Square, next to All Saints and the Manawatu Standard. The building was previously Palmerston North City Council chambers and it has retained much of its 1945 style, with polished wooden floors, ornate ceilings and an art deco facade. Square Edge is home to a number of artists' studios, shops, art galleries and perfomance/rehearsal spaces. The Galleries exhibit the work of emerging local artists.
