Culture Strategy 2023
The Culture Strategy 2023 identifies three catalysts for change:
The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™
GC2018 delivered a once-in-a-generation opportunity for arts and cultural development for our city, leaving an outstanding cultural legacy.
Cultural Precinct – HOTA
Our new cultural precinct is the heart for arts, culture and creative enterprise on the Gold Coast. HOTA supports the city's already thriving cultural evolution.
A new City approach to cultural development
Our dynamic Arts & culture team is committed to delivering an exciting program of opportunities. We assist with:
- business and skills development across a range of art forms
- supporting an ecology of cultural organisations
- investing in our arts and cultural workers through funding programs and in-kind support to ensure they have the opportunities they need to thrive.
Events and programs
To find out more about the abundance of performances, exhibitions, festivals, and arts and cultural events across the city, visit What's On Gold Coast, and HOTA, Home of the Arts.
