Art Explorers

Join us for Art Explorers – HOTA Gallery tours for little people with big imaginations! These playful sessions invite children and their parents/carers to connect with art through movement, encouraging curiosity, creativity and fun!

Led by artists from the Gold Coast’s LGBTQIA+ community, Art Explorers champions body positivity and role models in all shapes, sizes and diversities. 

Art Explorers is perfect for curious minds and active bodies. HOTA Gallery will come alive through dancing, stretching, and storytelling with every artwork.

This program is recommended for children aged 2-5.

Children must be accompanied by an adult carer and cannot be left unsupervised at any time. Thank you for your understanding.
