Contemporary cultural precinct HOTA, Home of the Arts on the Gold Coast has commissioned 20 Australian artists to present new work as part of the inaugural exhibition program for its new Gallery opening in April 2021. Both established and emerging artists have been selected who have strong connections to the Gold Coast and will be commissioned to create new works that reflect the diversity of the region. The project marks the largest presentation of new works by Gold Coast artists undertaken by HOTA. Artists including Hiromi Tango, Michael Candy, Samuel Leighton-Dore and Libby Harwood will create artwork for the $60.5million new HOTA Gallery including sculpture, weaving, textiles, ceramics, performance, painting, photography, video, and installation works.
