HOTA, Home of the Arts and Placemakers* capture the Gold Coast’s imagination.

HOTA, Home of the Arts

In tropical parklands with the Surfers Paradise skyline as the backdrop, HOTA, Home of the Arts is a contemporary cultural precinct in the heart of the Gold Coast.

Year round, HOTA presents large scale outdoor events and concerts and performances on the spectacular award-winning outdoor stage. Indoors you can catch theatre, dance and comedy from some of the best national and international artists and performing arts companies; while two cinemas show indie arthouse, blockbusters and curated film festivals.
