For Artists
HOTA supports creatives at every career stage. Here's how to work with us.
Work With Us
HOTA is always on the lookout for bold, adventurous and innovative work. We welcome pitches from producers, artists and companies at any stage of development - whether your show is ready to tour, or you’re exploring a concept and keen to collaborate on its development.
We're particularly interested in boundary-pushing work that connects with Gold Coast audiences, or champions Queensland creatives.

Funding
HOTA actively supports artists and cultural organisations through a range of funding programs, grants and commissioned works. From our flagship Experience Gold Coast Arts Fund to the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award, there are multiple pathways for financial support.
Experience Gold Coast Arts Fund
The Experience Gold Coast Arts Fund champions artistic excellence and innovation, backing Gold Coast creatives at every stage of their careers to bring bold ideas to life – from digital storytelling, live music, mixed media art installations, major community engaged projects, and contemporary circus to mainstage theatrical productions.
The focus of the fund is to grow visibility, exposure, capability and the reputation of Gold Coast artists. Funding supports local artists to partner with other local artists, national artists or even international artists to bring imaginative ideas to life.
Creative Opportunities
Energies
Energies is an annual exhibition showcasing the exceptional creative talents of senior secondary students on the Gold Coast. For nearly forty years, this prestigious exhibition has provided emerging artists with a professional platform to present their work, empowering students to pursue careers in the arts.
