Sky Ribbons
Thu 13 Feb - Sun 2 Mar
Sky Ribbons
HOTA is set to bring its biggest and boldest artwork to the Outdoor Stage for WONDER 2025 and we invite you to get involved!
We’ll be collecting 10,000 messages from Gold Coasters that reflect the collective voice of our City.
Locals are invited to write their message on one of 10,000 sky ribbons at our collection sites right across the Gold Coast from 13 Feb to 2 Mar 2025, before this incredible artwork is raised high in the sky at HOTA as part of WONDER 2025 (31 May – 13 July 2025).
We hope you can join us in celebrating our place and contributing your voice by responding to the question “I’m grateful to call the Gold Coast home because….”
Don’t miss out on being a part of this heartfelt project where every ribbon tells a story.
View the list of locations and dates below. No registrations are required; just pop in and write your message. Suitable for all ages and abilities.
Supported by Experience Gold Coast
The Sky Ribbons project is proudly delivered by our partners at Everybody NOW!
