Strange Goods x Enjoy Art Book Fair

Join us at Enjoy between Wednesday 20–Saturday 23 November as Tāmaki Makaurau-based art book and ephemera store Strange Goods host a satellite shop in our reading room, with a range of art-related titles from publishers from Aotearoa and beyond.

Now in its fifth year, Enjoy’s Art Book Fair is an annual opportunity to peruse and purchase some of the best recent arts publishing. Originally initiated in response to a lack of outlets for small-press, artist led publishing in Aotearoa, the fair reflects our commitment to print publishing around art and celebrates innovative, critically engaged work by artists, writers and designers.

This year, to reflect the changing landscape for publishing and book distribution in Aoteaora, we’re collaborating with Tāmaki Makaurau-based art book and ephemera store Strange Goods. From 20–23 November, we’ll be joined by Sam Walsh from Strange Goods, who will be offering an exciting range of publications and ephemera for sale, including titles from:

- Bad News Books
