Welcome to HOTA, Home of the Arts. We loved being The Arts Centre, but we've become something more.
Surrounded by parklands and a lake with Surfers Paradise as the backdrop, Home of the Arts is your place for live performances, lake-side strolls, star-gazing, cinema-watching, art and new-ideas. There's a unique outdoor stage for live events and a refreshed cafe for relaxing and connecting. Plus, all your favourites, like our cinemas, theatres and gallery.
Discover art—indoors and out. HOTA is that kind of place—where art meets life.
We believe in community, conversation and creativity, so when we're not presenting amazing live performances, we'll bring the parklands alive. Experience dance or yoga on the green, parkrun around the lake and our popular Sunday farmer's markets, all in one place.
HOTA is the home for all things creative. A home that brings people together where ideas are transformed into real life experiences. A place where art makes the world a better place.
