HOTA - Home of the Arts, Art museum and cultural center in Gold Coast, Australia

HOTA is an art museum and cultural center in Gold Coast with several buildings housing art galleries, theaters, and performance spaces. The complex spreads across a site featuring parks and a lake that connects various types of artistic venues and exhibition areas.

The center was founded in 1986 and was originally called Keith Hunt Community Entertainment and Arts Centre. It went through several name changes before becoming HOTA in 2018.

HOTA takes its name from the initials of Home of the Arts, adopted in a 2018 rebrand. The precinct hosts live music, theatre, dance, comedy, opera, children's shows and cinema, and its Outdoor Stage opened on 17 March 2018 with a sold-out Tim Minchin performance for 3,372 people. St. Margaret's Chapel, a non-denominational historic chapel, holds weddings and receptions.

Theatre 1 seats 1,139 in a traditional layout, while Theatre 2 is a smaller black box. HOTA Cinema, the Panorama Room, Lakeside Room and function spaces sit alongside the HOTA Cafe and the fine-dining restaurant Palette. A bridge links the parklands to Chevron Island, and a ferry stop serves the lake edge.

The Outdoor Stage opened on 17 March 2018 with a sold-out Tim Minchin show for 3,372 people. Its 100-tonne self-supporting screen shields performers from sun and glare, and a 5.5-tonne bi-fold proscenium door opens at the back. In November 2024 Kid Laroi drew a record 4,300 there.
