Home of the Arts (HOTA), opened as the Keith Hunt Community Entertainment and Arts Centre in 1986 and subsequently renamed The Arts Centre Gold Coast (TAC) and Gold Coast Arts Centre, is a cultural precinct situated in Surfers Paradise, City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. HOTA presents live music, theatre, dance, comedy, opera, children's shows, art, and cinema. It is surrounded by parklands and a lake. The HOTA precinct is the centrepiece of the City of Gold Coast Council’s Gold Coast Cultural Precinct masterplan.

HOTA was formerly home to the Gold Coast City Art Gallery, which closed in 2018 to prepare for the opening of the new HOTA Gallery in early 2021.

History

The land on which HOTA is situated (known as Evandale) was occupied by a thriving Aboriginal community, later (1860s) being settled by European farmers. The City of Gold Coast bought the land in the 1960, and the Evandale Civic and Cultural Centre, designed by local architect Alan Griffith, was opened in 1976.^[1]

HOTA was first named the Keith Hunt Community Entertainment and Arts Centre. It was officially opened in December 1986, owned and managed by the council, and was renamed the Gold Coast Arts Centre,^[1] which remained until March 2010.^{[citation needed]}

In 1993, the Gold Coast City Council formed the Gold Coast Arts Centre Proprietary Company Limited as a separate legal entity, becoming the sole shareholder in the company and providing the majority of funding. This company continues to exist as of July 2022^[update].^[1]

In 1996, the Arts Café was added, with a 2004 extension adding a new cinema, two function rooms and an administration area.^[1]

In March 2010, as a result of the new masterplan, the Gold Coast Arts Centre was renamed, rebranded, refurbished and relaunched as The Arts Centre Gold Coast.^[1]

In 2013, a competition was held to find an architect to create a new cultural precinct, and ARM Architecture and TOPOTEK 1 won.^[1]

In 2018, a fresh rebrand took place and the venue became HOTA, Home of the Arts.^[1] Also in 2018, the Gold Coast City Art Gallery closed to make way for a new gallery, which was the largest public gallery outside of a capital city in Australia.^[2]

The HOTA project

Delivery of the A$37.5 million Outdoor Stage marked the completion of Stage 1a of the Masterplan. Stage 1b was the construction of a new bridge to Chevron Island, which improved connectivity to Surfers Paradise. The A$19.5 million bridge crosses between the parklands and a vacant lot on Stanhill Drive, Chevron Island, and was officially opened in early 2020.^[3]

The A$60.5m HOTA Gallery (Stage 1b of the project) opened on 8 May 2021.^[3]

Functions and venues

HOTA presents live music, theatre, dance, comedy, opera, children's shows, art,and cinema. It is surrounded by Evandale Parklands and Evandale lake.^[4] The HOTA precinct is the centrepiece of the City of Gold Coast Council’s Gold Coast Cultural Precinct masterplan.^[5]

 ==History==
+[[File:The Arts Centre Gold Coast.jpg|thumb|The Arts Centre in 2015.]]
-The Arts Centre land was once the gateway to [[Surfers Paradise]]. In 1887, German immigrant Johann Meyer operated a ferry across the [[Nerang River]]. From [[Southport, Queensland|Southport]], travellers would follow the Meyer's Ferry Road (now simply [[Ferry Road]]) to a spit of land that created a narrow point in the river ({{coord|-28.0011|153.4247|type:landmark_region:AU-QLD|name = Meyer's Ferry}}). The narrow spit is no longer in existence due to changes in the river and the creation of [[Chevron Island]] but is in the vicinity of the Gold Coast Arts Centre today. From that point, Meyer's ferry would take the travellers across the river to Meyer's Ferry Road at Elston (as Surfers Paradise was then known) along which the travellers would walk to the surf beach. Businesses established along Meyer's Ferry Road at Elston which created the main street of Surfers Paradise now known as [[Cavill Avenue]]. Although the surf beaches of Elston were a popular destination, the lack of road access limited the extent of residential and commercial development.<ref name="gcc">{{cite web|title = Surfers Paradise history|url = http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/thegoldcoast/surfers-paradise-history-2764.html|publisher = [[Gold Coast City Council]]|accessdate = 15 January 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=History: Understanding the Gold Coast|url=http://www.goldcoastculturalprecinct.info/place/history|website=Cultural Precinct Gold Coast|publisher=[[Gold Coast City Council]]|accessdate=29 September 2015}}</ref> It was not until 1925 that the [[Jubilee Bridge, Southport|Jubilee Bridge]] was built between Southport and [[Main Beach, Queensland|Main Beach]] which opened up Surfers Paradise for tourism and associated development and eliminated the need for the ferry service.
