#Learn at HOTA

We believe art education empowers young people to live their lives by design and not default, and in a changing world this opportunity is more important than ever. 

And at HOTA, we work to create experiences for not just the next generation, but the people who are responsible for carrying them through their schooling journeys. 

We're more than a theatre and gallery (although we're that too!). We're a cultural destination where you and your students can experience art and programs that foster collaboration, critical thinking, play, risk-taking and creativity for learning.
