Summer is HOTA

#Discover. Explore. Belong. Surprise.

Only at HOTA.

In tropical parklands with the Surfers Paradise skyline as the backdrop, HOTA Home of the Arts is a contemporary cultural precinct where art meets life this summer.

Real events, real people and real experiences. In our theatres, and on our award-winning Outdoor Stage, we take great delight in presenting live performances from some of the very best local, national and international artists.

#Art Indoors...

In HOTA Gallery you’ll find a jam-packed program of exhibitions, immersive events, workshops and more. And our two busy cinemas show blockbusters, arthouse films and documentaries seven days a week.

#...and Out!

Outdoors in our parklands you’ll find a riot of colour as the precinct fills up with of people hanging out, swimming in our lake, browsing the Sunday Farmers Market, and just enjoying being together in a hidden oasis, just a stone’s throw from Surfers Paradise.


See just how naturally food
and art come together at HOTA.
