All we want for our 16th birthday is...

Enjoy's website is bursting at the seams with fifteen years of artists, publications and events. We've worked with many brilliant artists over the years, and our website's exhibition archive is a veritable rollcall of contemporary New Zealand artists. Giving early opportunities and support is one of the things Enjoy does best, and our site is a key way we share the work of our artists and writers. 

All this currently sits on some borrowed server space, as it has done for many years. You may also have noticed that it's a bit tricky to use our website on your mobile. So for the first time, we're treating our website to a big makeover.   

We want to make it easier for you to browse the archive, see projects and events that are coming up at Enjoy, and read our online publishing. Most of all we want to make visiting our website as enjoyable as visiting the gallery - no matter whether you're at your computer or on your phone. Your donation will help transform Enjoy's website into a place where you can quickly find what you need, or happily while away a weekend afternoon.

The New Website

Launching the new site will be an achievement highly worthy of our fifteenth birthday. We've got some great people on board; the talented duo at Sons & Co. are going to be working with us, which we're very excited about! They'll be taking care of all the heavy lifting and getting our site up to scratch for 2015.

Not only will our new website better showcase our artists and make it easier to find what you're looking for, it's going to make day-to-day life in the office much easier for Emma & Louise - and we'll be able to bring our volunteers on board more often thanks to a more intuitive back-end. All this helps to free up time for what we love most - working with artists and writers to produce new work to share with you.

This is a great chance to support Enjoy as we move into our sixteenth year, and we very much appreciate all donations. 

$3000 Matched Grant

We have been working towards this project for over two years, quietly gathering together funds through a variety of fundraising drives and mindful financial planning, and most of what is needed is ready to go.

The last piece of the puzzle is a generous matched grant from Creative New Zealand, as part of the Digital Strategy scheme that Enjoy has been privileged to take part in. With some fantastic coaching we've been looking at our online presence and digital activity to figure out the best ways to use them - both to better promote our artists and to improve the way we work. If we can raise $3000 for this project, CNZ will match it. We're now turning to you - our friends, artists, and community - to help us raise this last little bit.
