Each month Square Edge hosts artists’ exhibitions in our three beautiful gallery spaces. Exhibitions are accepted as part of a proposal process. If you are interested in exhibiting here at Square Edge please submit a proposal by the due date. Our team review submissions once a year and plan our yearly exhibition schedule. We accept proposals from artists in any media, are open to discussion, and love diversity! You can read about our process, what we offer and the costs involved, and view the online form here:
Alliance Francaise | Comics from Africa.s Exhibition
The ‘Kubini’ (imaginary creation in Swahili) exhibition is an African Comic Art exhibition.
For several years, African authors and artists have been making their mark on the Western comics scene, in particular in France, Belgium, Luxemburg and Switzerland. This has allowed the European public to discover the vitality, richness and creativity of African comics.
‘Kubuni’ showcases African comics around three main axes: yesterday, today and tomorrow. It brings together the works of more than fifty comic book authors from sub-Saharan Africa.
Gunhild Litwin | Chimeras
Gunhild creates objects that twist quotidian narratives and infuses them with the uncanny, playful and absurd.
She grew up in West Germany in an era of a fibre arts revival. Gunhild gained her B.Ed. with majors in Art and Crafts at Leuphana University-Lüneburg in 1983. Some years later, she moved to the USA, and after some more years, settled in Aotearoa.
Gunhild has been creating across genres all her life. She has also been mixing genres with growing enthusiasm.
This exhibition is the culmination of years of playing around with genres, media, myths, fairytales and gravity.
TWOA | Whiria te muka tangata
This exhibition is by students of the Maunga Kura Toi Bachelor of Māori Art Degree of Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.
The programme encompasses all aspects of Māori weaving and maintains the practices and techniques of the tūpuna (ancestors).

Michele Theobald | Making Memories
In Making Memories, I share my experiences and observations, inspired by emotions, family bonds, and human interaction. In our fast-paced world, this collection serves as a reminder to slow down and savour the beauty in everyday experiences and relationships.
I am a full-time artist here in Palmerston North, and I predominantly work with acrylic paint but love to explore mixed media for its creative freedom, allowing me to play with colour, texture, and abstract form.
Through my work, I hope to evoke a sense of connection, resonating with viewers’ personal experiences and reminding us of our shared humanity.

Anna Bootle | Beyond the fence
I am a landscape photographer based in Palmerston North. In my own backyard of our property on the outskirts of town, I am constantly greeted by an ever-changing canvas of landscapes. Each day brings new light, colours and textures, inspiring me to capture the unique beauty in my surroundings and transform it into stunning visual narratives.
