Canvas, Circle Square, is set to be Manchester’s newest next-generation music, wellness and entertainment catalyst for the community.
A space for music lovers to meet, connect, collaborate and party, it comes from the team behind two of London’s most established music venues, Oval Space and Pickle Factory.

Launching with a bang, Canvas is set to invite members to be the first to experience the Canvas Main Room as they host the official Northern Fashion Week afterparty on Friday 8th July. A night of live music, interactive art and fashion, the event will be powered by Habitat and hosted by Faro.
Headlining the event, Sainte will perform a unique combination of hip hop, jazz and RnB; creating indescribable vibes that few others are able to achieve. Sainte is an artist quickly on the rise, having just emerged within the highly competitive underground scene.
Following his emphatic entrance with his singles such as “Champagne Shots” and “Round & Round”, Canvas are extremely proud to welcome him to their first-ever Main Room event.
Throughout the night, music will also come from KSR, DJ Chaise, Yung Omz, Sham Steele, Tone Rarri and AK Gramm.

On Saturday 9th July, join SNO and DISCHI in the Members’ Lounge for an evening of magical cosmic-pop-potion sounds – with music that spans across hip-hop, disco, electronic and soul.
Hailing from the township of Bophelong in South Africa, SNO, born Selina Nongaliphe Oliphant, has always seen music as a beacon of strength and hope to the marginalised. Currently a resident of Manchester, she is woven very tightly into the city’s dynamic music scene.
Kicking-off the first of the ongoing series of Canvas residencies, SNO will be joined by DISCHI – the vibrant, northern-born soul sisters – Chia Kali and Demi Baitsy.
SNO’s residency will incorporate live music in her DJ sets, including vocalists, poets and instrumentalists inspired and influenced by black music and culture. There will also be a specific focus on providing a platform for female talent and other under represented groups.
Entry will be limited. Tickets for the guestlist are available here.
