About Enjoy

Mission

Enjoy facilitates contemporary art projects and is liberated from commercial constraints to actively promote critical dialogue.

Who are we and what are we doing?

Established in June 2000, Enjoy Public Art Gallery is a non-commercial artist-run initiative based in Wellington, New Zealand. We encourage experimental art projects from both emergent and more established practitioners, and aim to present a diverse exhibition series. Your feedback is always welcome.  Send an e-mail

The Enjoy Trust members include these Wellington-based arts practitioners: Ann Shelton, Bronwyn Holloway-Smith, Amit Charan and Rachel O'Neill.

Staff: Siv B. Fjaerestad fills the new position of Curator & Manager, with responsibilities for curating the program and Paula Booker is the Publications Manager & Writer.

Submitting a Proposal

We encourage proposals for exhibition, residency, publication or performance projects to be submitted at any time throughout the year. These are reviewed every two months. The next proposal review is scheduled for Monday the 27th of October 2008.

All proposals should contain enough information to communicate the ideas or concepts behind the project. We prefer to review email submissions with jpeg images. If hard copy images are central to consideration your work, please submit them in addition to written and emailed proposal. This material can later be returned to you if specified in your application.

Information should include:
- A written explanation of the project, its themes, rationale and how it relates to the context of Enjoy
- Images of artwork - past work is fine if the work you are proposing is yet to be done
- An idea of your timeframe; the length of time you feel you need for your project, both how long you wish to exhibit for and the minimum time you need before you are ready to exhibit.

If you have a question regarding proposals please contact Gallery Manager & Curator - Siv


All accepted projects receive:
- Administrative and curatorial support
- Artists Fee (subject to funding)
- Promotion via the Enjoy website, email-out, radio sponsorship, and print material
- Support through web archiving and critical writing

The artist or curator of each show are asked to give an informal gallery talk during the show. These talks are facilitated by an Enjoy representative.

A floorplan and wall plan are available to provide you with the dimensions of our gallery space.
