Here and Now: Gold Coast Triennial

A contemporary art exhibition exploring the depth and dynamism of the Gold Coast’s creative community.

Be immersed in the ‘Here and Now’ with an extraordinary collection of works of art by 42 artists who are deeply connected to our city.

Explore seven interconnected spaces featuring works ranging from medium scale installations, video and sculpture to 2D works, created by an exciting snapshot of artists from across the Gold Coast.

Held every three years at HOTA Gallery, the Gold Coast Triennial is thought-provoking, irreverent and playful, evoking a contemplative atmosphere.

Spanning generations, personal histories and career experience, the exhibition unveils the depth and dynamism of the Gold Coast creative community.

Entry is free.
