Rainbow Story Hour

HOTA Gallery Public Program

Third Friday Monthly
Rainbow Story Hour

Story time for the whole family

Imaginative and immersive fun for little readers!

Little ones are invited to settle back and listen to a story read by a member of our LGBTQIA+ community. HOTA’s Rainbow Story Hour program champions body positivity and role models in all different shapes, sizes, diversities, and encourages the imagination and play of childhood.

Featuring artists, singers, and creatives of all genre, Rainbow Story Hour is a fun way for kids to connect with their imagination, meet friends, and explore vivid realms.

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

With Jordan Wilkinson

Homegrown Gold Coast Filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist Jordan Wilkinson tells the immediate stories of people, art and place. His work often challenges the notions between queerness and his own identity within natural and urban landscape settings. Artistically, Jordan weaves these themes between theatre, art and screen with residencies at Metro Arts, La Boite, SITUATE, City of Gold Coast, and a year-long mentorship with Auteur Baz Luhrmann on Elvis. His work offers you a glimpse into the city beyond the fringes through moving image, sound and text, the Gold Coast and the Scenic Rim re-examined through a new lens.
