STOP PRESS 21/12/2007
Late this year the New Zealand Portrait Gallery (NZPG) our joint venture partner in the Shed 11 project wished to withdraw, and accordingly the joint venture has been terminated.
There were four very successful exhibitions in Shed 11 which gave some indication of the calibre of programmes we could jointly host. While we were disappointed that we were not able to move forward with the project, we wish the Portrait Gallery success in its future endeavours. An unavoidable ramification of this, however, is that the significant funding package that was agreed with Wellington City Council is no longer available.
We wish to thank the many people who helped us over the last several years. And also the many supporters of our publishing, exhibition and collection services since 1985. We are now exploring how best to ensure the integrity of the NZCP collection and the future of the New Zealand Journal of Photography.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email us and we will do our best to answer your queries.
The Proposal for your Support
What we´ve achieved in 2006
Wellington Waterfront Limited´s contribution in the form of an agreement to make Shed 11 available to us for 5 years rent free - the assessed value of their commitment is $500,000. Wellington City Council´s commitment to annual funding of $75,000 per year for 10 years with inflation adjustments over that period as part of the Council´s Long Term Council Community Plan. Pledges from sponsors are already being received.
The Longer Term
Our fundraising requirement for the next five years is $1,637,000 We have been planning the most cost effective way to achieve the ideal that we share for a dynamic and successful gallery. The forward budget that Shed 11 Limited has developed indicates the scale of the operation that we are planning. It is ambitious, but limited, and we believe achievable.
Support:
- Kauri Partner: over $75,000
- Totara Sponsor $50,000
- Rimu patron 10,000 to $25,000
- Matai Supporter $5,000 to $10,000
