Manawatu region's visual arts learning centre
Studio on the Square was established in 2016 as the need for an organisation to provide art teaching and mentoring in the wider Manawatu community became apparent. We now have three administrators, eight tutors and more than 100 people participating in various art activities each week.

New for '22: Mentoring Programmes
In 2022 we are offering 5 week, 2 hour, mentoring programme.
You will choose an art project and work with a mentor to complete this project during the five weeks. These sessions are for the absolute beginner through to the more experienced artist, as mentoring is undertaken on an individual basis. There will be up to four students in the art space in each session.
