Arts & education websites

Avoca's Arts and Education work.

You deserve a team that understands your mission

We know the sector

We’ve worked with many arts organisations, schools and education providers over the years. We know how to present events, display teachers and classes and organise complex programmes and information.

How do we know so much about your mahi? Brendyn’s highest qualification is a Masters in Traditional Irish Music Performance (University of Limerick, IRE). He has toured internationally, won a New Zealand music award and worked in live sound and stage management for festivals over many years.

Brendyn and Jan also both worked in an adult education non-profit.

We've helped many arts and educations organisations thrive online

“Brendyn and Jan have been wonderful to work with. Very easy to talk with and they are both good at listening to our concerns and or needs.”

Kim McCormack
Deputy Director - Nelson Centre of Musical Arts

It is always a pleasure working with you both, and it feels as though you're part of the NCMA family, and not just another external business that we deal with. The whole process was surprisingly smooth from our end, and your advice and guidance throughout made it all that much doable as we climbed the mountain.

Avoca have just rebuilt our website. We couldn’t be happier. The colours and layout captured me instantly. It’s easy for visitors to navigate, to get the information they need, then register and pay. Due to the understanding Avoca has of our needs and processes, the back end, where I spent a fair bit of time updating the variables for our events, is easy to work through.

Just the hugest thank you for our shiny new website. I am so very, very pleased and grateful. You've managed to weave in all of our "wants" and crazy dreams and it just looks amazing!!!
