Enjoy Public Art Gallery, Contemporary art museum in Wellington, New Zealand
Enjoy Contemporary Art Space is a not-for-profit gallery in the Cuba Street arts area of Wellington, now on the ground floor at 211 Left Bank, off Cuba Mall. It presents exhibitions, publications, public programmes and residencies by emerging and mid-career artists, and publishes critical writing online and in printed catalogues.
Enjoy was founded in 2000 by artists Ciaran Begley, Ros Cameron and Rachel Smithies as an artist-run space on the first floor at 174 Cuba St. It moved to Level 1, 147 Cuba St in 2006, was called Enjoy Public Art Gallery from 2001 to 2019, and in 2019 shifted to a ground-floor space at 211 Left Bank, off Cuba Mall.
The name changed from Enjoy Public Art Gallery to Enjoy Contemporary Art Space in 2019, the year the gallery moved to 211 Left Bank. A Board of Trustees of Wellington artists and arts professionals governs the organisation, which is supported by Creative New Zealand and the Wellington City Council. Alongside exhibitions it publishes critical writing online and printed catalogues.
Enjoy is on the ground floor at 211 Left Bank, reached from Cuba Mall through the Left Bank off Cuba Street. The gallery sits within the Cuba Street arts area, so it can be combined with a walk along the mall. It is governed by a Board of Trustees of Wellington artists and arts professionals.
Between 2001 and 2019 the organisation was called Enjoy Public Art Gallery, which is why the older name still appears on many catalogues. It has occupied three sites: a first-floor space at 174 Cuba St until 2006, Level 1 at 147 Cuba St, and since 2019 a ground-floor space at 211 Left Bank, off Cuba Mall.
