HOTA: Creative
Development Program

Gold Coast's HOTA (Home of the Arts) have launched their new Creative Development Program, offering cash support for both individual artists and arts companies for the development of new projects and opening up their spaces to be used in creating and performing new work.

The program aims to support art-making and provide platforms for creative development, presentation and collaboration, helping Gold Coast artists take risks, experiment and create great art.

With help from City of Gold Coast, the Creative Development opportunity, in year one, will be split into two streams, Little Bites and Big Bites. There will be a combined total funding pool of over $200,000 in cash and in-kind resources. 

Find out all about the two streams below!
