Stream 1 – Little Bites
For projects that need a little help to get the ball rolling. This is generally for projects that are in initial stages of development, or for projects with a clear ambition for use of space and resources at HOTA. This may look like any of the following:
• Up to $5000 in cash support; and/or
• Up to $5000 value in in-kind support, for example: - Use of HOTA spaces for development of work for up to two weeks - Use of HOTA spaces for presentation for up to seven days - Use of HOTA technicians to assist with technical show development - Use of outdoor spaces - Tapping into HOTA ticketing and marketing resources for a showing
Stream 2 – Big Bites
For projects that are large, complex and delivered by a professional team with a proven track record. This may look like any of the following:
• Up to $40,000 in cash support
• Up to $40,000 value in in-kind support
Keep in mind that if you are applying for a Little Bite in year one, you may want to come back in year two and have a go at the Big Bite opportunity. We want to support artists to grow their little ideas into big projects.
We will help artists across two key programs detailed below.
We want to support art-making and provide platforms for creative development, presentation and collaboration. We want to help local artists take risks, experiment and create great art. Apply between 28 Nov -25 Jan. We’d love to hear from you, read on for the details.
With a little help from our friends at City of Gold Coast, the Creative Development opportunity, in year one, will be split into two streams, Little Bites and Big Bites. There will be a combined total funding pool of over $200,000 in cash and in-kind resources.

We’re looking for artists who want to push boundaries and bring new ideas to the table. This opportunity is artist-led, development focused and not tied to presentation outcomes or the HOTA program. We do, however have a few key priorities with this funding, we’re seeking projects that are:
• Collaborative – including national and international
• Cross-arts
• Multi-platform
• New
• Shifting, expanding or stretching an artists practice in a new direction
We’re looking for projects that bring together high calibre artists and ideas to create great artistic outcomes.
We’d like the successful Artist/s to contribute to our growing ecosystem of artists and community by having a public engagement element to their project. Along with documenting and social media sharing, this could be anything from an industry or public showing, workshop, masterclass or something else. The successful Artist/s will liaise with HOTA to develop this component and should expect to allocate up to 20 hours to these activities.
What we’re looking for
HOTA is in a stage of growth and transition as the precinct prepares itself for major development over the coming years, including the construction of a new HOTA Gallery and Green Bridge. This has practical implications to what can and can’t be done onsite. A few key considerations:
• The Gallery at HOTA will be closed from Nov 2018 to Mar 2020. The front foyer areas will remain accessible, but no formal gallery space will exist. Construction has commenced for the new HOTA Gallery.
• The Green Bridge will commence build in 2019, connecting the outdoor parklands to Chevron Island to the north.
• HOTA has both commercial bookings and its annual program throughout the precinct at different times, some spaces will be subject to availability and can be confirmed if you are selected to participate in the program.
• Use of the Basement and outdoor spaces (e.g. parkland) is encouraged
• Your project is not bound to take place onsite, however it must contribute to HOTA through public engagement.
