Squares 2026

Now in its 20th year, Squares returns to Strathnairn Arts as one of our most beloved annual traditions and this year’s show is bigger and better than ever!

Bringing together artists of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels, Squares celebrates boundless creativity within a simple 30 × 30 cm format. This year features over 400 original works across 3 categories, spanning a vibrant range of mediums from painting and textiles to collage, still life, abstract, and pop art.

For the very first time, Strathnairn Arts is proud to collaborate with the Strathnairn School and Ginninderry to host a companion exhibition featuring 30 × 30 cm works by local school students. Make sure to visit The Link during your visit to see their incredible artistic talents on display!

Exhibition Runs: 1 August – 30 August 2026

Closing Event & Awards Ceremony: Saturday, 29 August (Time TBC)

Join us as part of the Ginninderry Festival to celebrate our artists, award winners, and the local community!
