The city’s vibrant arts and cultural industry continues to evolve.
As mayor, I recall when a decade ago a Melbourne art critic commented that the Gold Coast “was a cultural desert”. Those words stung as I knew they were both untrue and out of touch with reality.
We have a deep and vibrant arts community on the coast.
The 2023 edition of the Bleach Festival showcased our incredible Gold Coast-based creatives. In fact, more than 170 local artists featured on the program including two world premiere performances.
Our HOTA precinct is growing in stature with the Pop Masters exhibition achieving huge interest - and attendances - in the main gallery.
From a council perspective, we continue to see the Level Up arts program expand as we support young emerging visual artists across the coast.
Art is an industry and I view it as a key economic driver for the coast. Major exhibitions like Pop Masters draw intrastate and interstate visitors who stay longer and spend more - good news for local businesses.

Apart from its role in promoting our city locally, nationally and internationally, the arts sector also reinforces the broader social fabric of our community.
I have always held the view that a “city without art is a city without soul”. Through HOTA, Level Up, the Broadbeach Cultural Precinct, the Gold Coast Eisteddfod and so many other wonderful festivals, we have a fantastic story to tell.
My message to the Melbourne art critic and his friends is: “if you think we are a desert, it has rained and today, our desert is blooming”.
Enjoy your Melbourne winter.

A Complete Makeover For The Pioneering Luxury Suv
Completely reimagined, the all-new Lexus RX follows nothing else. Fronted by a rebellious spindle body, it mirrors nothing else. Delivery driving dyamics so scintillating, especially that of the first ever RX 500h F SPORT Performance Hybrid, it moves like nothing else. And with a driverfocussed cabin and intuitive interface centred around an expansive 14 inch touchscreen display, it feels like nothing else. This is the luxury SUV that defies convention, just as you do. Be no one else in the all-new Lexus RX.
