HOTA Gallery (formerly Gold Coast City Gallery) was established in 1986 and houses more than 4500 art works worth more than $32 million dollars, making it one of the largest art collections outside of an Australian capital city. A host of art prizes ensured the city collected the pick of artistic responses to contemporary trends, and it consequently reflects key developments in recent Australian art: abstraction; feminist art; Indigenous art; ceramics; and twenty-first-century photography.
The HOTA Gallery Collection Online is an evolving database, currently providing access to over 500 artworks, with the entire collection set to be made available online over time. Artworks can be searched by artist, material, and colour, offering new ways to explore the depth and range of the collection from anywhere.
Over the span of 30 years, the Gold Coast International Ceramic Award played a defining role in shaping the gallery's ceramic collection. The historic program is celebrated in a curated selection of ceramics inspired by the coastal landscape, now on display at the Exhibitionist Bar.
HOTA is thrilled to the support the loan of Mid-Centry Modern to the MCA for Tony Albert's landmark survey, Not a Souvenir. On view until 19 October 2026.
