History

Gallery on the Square has over the past 15 years established itself as one of South Africa's leading fine art galleries, showcasing an eclectic mix of South African and International fine art, sculpture, and ceramics; as well as supporting various development projects.
The gallery's continuous vision aims at promoting a cross section of established and emerging South African artists in a variety of disciplines. Drawing on the ever-present talent and energy of its country's visual artists, the gallery has found its niche within the South African art market, as well as providing an environment that is enjoyed and supported by artists, patrons and collectors alike.
Included in the gallery's vision have always been the concepts of sustainability and development, and as such Gallery on the Square has played an integral part in the support and promotion of a number of highly successful development projects, namely the Ardmore Ceramic Studio, Mapula Embroidery and MonkeyBiz. By providing these projects with exhibitions the gallery has not only gone a long way towards raising their profiles and collectors' awareness, but also bridged the gap between what is considered high art and craft.
Together with a business partner, Gallery on the Square has also forged a strong relationship with the Artist Proof Studio and provides an annual exhibition for their final year students, thus providing the foundation, and often ongoing exhibitions, for a number of its success stories, namely Phillemon Hlungwani and Nelson Makamo.
Over the years the gallery has also been successfully appointed as Art Consultants and suppliers for various corporate projects and collections.
